...Got round to buying some lowering springs after thinking about it for however many months, and having got home from Uni for Christmas yesterday I cracked on with getting them fitted. A few pictures I took whilst doing it:
Jacked up, on stands and wheels off:
First shock out:

From the top:
fUbAr's guide on the laptop:
Compressors on:
Old spring off, new one ready to go:
Shock rebuilt with new spring ready to go:
Reattaching shock to hub:
All back together:
Top mount back on:
Freshly off the jack
:
Rears done and off the jack:
Finished and out my garage:
And again:
+1
Overall I'm pretty pleased with them. Took 45 minutes to do the first front corner, half an hour to do the other once I knew what I was doing, and then 20 minutes for both rears. Just over an hour and a half for my first attempt didn't seem bad. Hopefully they'll settle a wee bit more when I get some miles on them but theres a massive improvement from how it was..
Before:
Comments welcome. I know there are 2 too many doors, and no I'm not welding them up!
