I agree, you get what you pay for - look at the ropey job I had done last time before Ray's getting his hands on my pins

If the pins are free and the car is straight then it's a job for anyone with a GEO machine

It's much better now I've raised the rear a touch Scott (although the front lip really doesn't like me anymore!!)

Letting them bed in for a bit until I start fiddling with the damping rates but they are noticably stiffer than stock springs. Getting a touch of bump steer but it is lowered 20+mm so that's understandable.

Need to get it on a dead level surface to check the height at the front as it looks to be settling slightly lower on the passenger side.

For the cost of them, they are definitely a set of coilovers to consider if you don't want to break the bank!
If you've raised it up then your GEO will need redoing, so as soon as you have got the desired height your happy with then don't forget the GEO

Oh yeah deffo am happy with the height now but I'll hang about until I've got hold of the bump steer kit and toe arms before getting another GEO done. Hopefully LSD motor sports will come through for me.

That sounds familiar you don't own a Honda as well by any chance
