Take the wheel off and there should be a sticker on the coilover saying what brand it is.

Presumably you've informed your insurance company?

Well, turns out they are AP.

Didn't know these was on here till today, surely the garage should have told me when I bought it?

Luckily my insurance is now with green light and all modifications are covered for future reference.
But shall ring to tell them they are on to double make sure.

How do I adjust the rears? Not used to separate springs/shocks.

I try the collar but whole lot spins do I need to remove the spring? And can I do this by just undoing the shock?

Ha yeah I was happy with it.
