Fair enough about the mounts, you doget a fair bit of vibration! I don't change mine every 5k lol, I bought new ones and it still knocked every now and then so went for ktec ones.
I fitted brand new oe mounts to mine, then 5k miles later fitted the ktec ones. The ktec ones make the car feel much better! Definately not a waste of money.
Car looks very very nice!
I know a few people have said powerflex wishbone bushes made no difference, bit of a pig to fit too as they need tack welding in. If you're only wanting to change the wishbone bushes in the hope of a performance increase, I wouldn't bother! (IMO, of course)

Sounds like you need to assemble them as Kam mentioned. So you want the oe top hat (that sits directly on top of the spring) then the black ast piece, then the large orange piece.

When can we expect the release of the official "I'm with Burpspeed" apparel? :p
Cheers! Need to do an oil change anyway so will take a look. Any ideas of the price of these? Or a part number? (My local dealer isn't too great unless I give them a part number lol).
I love mine, think the damping is absolutely spot on. Can be a little crashy on poor roads but that's about it. Depends what you want them for really, if you want a decent quality coilover that's not a harsh ride, go for KW V1's, if you want something a little more track biased, I'd go with...
I get these popping up every now and then (mainly for the first 10mins or so of driving when it's cold on a morning).
Checked the oil and the level is fine, definately circulating round the engine too so I don't think there's a problem with the pump. I assume it's just a dodgy sensor or a...
