The problem is... that you spent 150 quid on some coilovers.... and expected them to be good!  :wink:
I'd usually agree here...you know "buy cheap, buy twice" but I've been using tuning art coilies on my last 3 cars. For the price, they're actually pretty good and come with a 3 yr warranty. They usually have a lot of adjustability in them. This is my E36 on tuningart coilies:

If u have issues, drop Edwin an email at tuningart and see what he can suggest, a nice guy and will help out if he can.

+1 to this. The E36 had to be raised after a month as it settled too much.

The look installed correctly to me.... must be a problem with the supplied springs.
