DOOOO it there awsome, make sure you greese up the adjuster threads as they are prone to seize. haha thankyou, bumps are not a problem at all it really is a good height as i hate how high they look standard. YEY SMR is my initials too, best initials ever lol

On coil overs, how do you know that both sides are the same height when you adjust them?

i started by putting both sides the same i.e both front coilovers where 3 turns from the bottom, i noticed that the drivers side was a few mm lower than the passenger so i raised it up and now its pretty much spot on, i believe the driver side is a bit heavier so thats why it sat a tad lower.

its all about fiddling around till you get them sitting just right, i plan on going a bit lower but we'll see

My mate just put those same coilovers on his 54 plate 1.25 fiesta style and he said theyre brilliant. Hes turning it into a full on track car with roll cage and everything but for some reason hes using the 1.6 zetec instead of our beloved duratec!
