Fitting next week, so will provide some initial thoughts the following week.
Quite excited to see what the car feels like once they are on. Cup steering wheel has already massively improved the driving position, and coupled with new suspension I expect it to feel like a new car!
Just picked up the car. Only driven it back to work from GT One, so will need to give it a proper drive over the weekend, but 1st impressions are good.
Only needed a rear stabiliser mounting in addition to the shocks and springs... so no massive additional cost. Ride height looks good, and it will likely settle a bit lower as I get some miles on it.
It's set up one level up from full soft, with X74 alignment. Over rough town roads (I drive everyday), it's firmer than before which is no surprise as my old shocks had 170k on them and blew through their travel before hitting the bump stops over big bumps... but it actually feels more comfortable as there's much less suspension movement.
Glad I had chance to drive it with the Cup wheel before I fitted the suspension - the wheel makes such a big difference I'd have needed to mentally separate the 2 changes... overall, it feels like a very different car now... much more direct to steer.
Looking forward to having a more spirited drive at thee weekend.

I'll get some pics at the weekend - it looks nice... not mega low, but will likely settle a bit more. It looks to have a small amount of rake, but I'll need to have a proper look to be sure.
1 up from full soft is half a turn - I think the shocks have 720* of adjustment (will check). Doubt I'd want it any firmer for daily road use.
Might look for some new ARB's as Indy said mine had quite a bit of surface rust.
Best news was it only needed 1 small part (inexpensive) in addition to the springs and shocks, so the bill was sensible for once
