If no one has done it by Sunday I should be able to help you out. It's 45 min job at the most.

Just out of curiosity, when you say 45 mins for the rear springs, how long do you reckon it would take to do shocks as well?

When we changed my rear springs from SL to SSL we got away with leaving the shocks in place. Just undid the lower shock bolt and pushed them up a bit for some clearance.

I have King Lows and they are way too high so when you put the Super Lows in I will have a look and compare ride height to decide if I go Ultra or Super...........

DaFish's car looks Awesome now, well done...........
