Do you trust the seller ok? He's offering me to pay by PayPal. 170 delivered I assume that's by a gift.

Never send money by gift, best to pay the few pounds more for peace of mind. Did it take long to get a reply from the seller

Aye suppose so for the sake of £10 or so. I sent him a message at 5/6 this evening and he replied there a hour ago with his mobile number. He asked for my PayPal address and he is going to send me a invoice so I assume that's just like paying for goods

^^^^ yes mate i didn not at first but then dac69er told me to fit washers so it wont rub on the rear beam so i cut a tat extra off so washers fitted in

wel spotted mate :)

So you run two washers in between the shock and where it bolts to the axle? Would cutting the metal bit of the shock and leave it the same as the standard shock not be better?

Eg the bit where the bolt goes through is wider than the bit that holds it?

So I got my rears fitted this evening. But I think I have done it wrong? The way I put the rears together was the spring then the cup then the silver tube/washer?



Sits far too high and it looks like there is too much space between the cup and the top rubber mount? Maybe the tube/washer is meant to go below the spring cup?



Sits roughly about a inch above the tyre at the minute with it fully screwed down.




Seems comfortable and takes the bumpers well at the minute. I will fit the front at the weekend.

Yeah I have the golf ones the same as you and they are screwed completely down to lower it with the softest spring setting. I will change the cup/ tube around this evening and get some pictures up of the max drop.
