fitted the joms today with the help of chris. 

i wound them leaving about an inch of thread and tbh the car looks like standard ride height. i still need to adjust everything but surely that cant be right. i know they should settle but about 2" lol

Exhaust was done by a local exhaust firm but after getting it on the ramp they won't be getting any recommendations. It looks like a rat's been at it and welded by a blind man.

In two minds to take it off n stick it through thier windows. I'll prob wrap it so it looks a bit more professional.

Wheels were off a local firm who did me a good deal.

I'm hoping the sus will drop as I'm not too impressed at the mo.

In other news. Some reverse camera badge stuffs arrived

Joms are massively hit and miss. They might settle down but I wouldn't expect 2" of settling.

On the exhuast front go back and threaten trading standards and get some
Money back as by the sounds of it they are jockys!!.....

In other cheery news! Looks good soo far! I looked at a k1/cupra for a while but hate the centre console! The seats are awesome though!!

Hit and miss how so???

The console was one thing I didn't like either. Very cheap luckily I have the rns510 in there

They seem to varie massively on amount of drop given. What you get from lower end coilies . Can't argue for money though... Just whip the helpers and adjusters out.

Had to do the same to mine, Think its all to do with the 55mm colar, as on 50mm hubs the fit fine. Bit of a poor design but nothing that effects there operation.
