the boot on them is an odd shape and a pain in the arse to get anything it. i did manage to get an engine crane in tho lol. i have also fitted one of the 3dr gas struts to mine, so now when you press the button on the fob, not only does the boot pop, it actually opens up too lol

thats fucking good going mate, i get 285 miles on average to a 38l tank, or £50 ish at the mo. thats 33.3mpg tho. i only use the car for work and its 9 miles each way so its hardly got warm really.

yeah that can be annoying, mine sits at about 4krpm at 75mph

it was on H&R coilovers mate, i forget the exact ones but they were only adjustable for ride height, not damping aswell which was a shame as the fronts could have done with being a bit harder.
for info on lowering/ride handling pm volcomestone, he has some useful info for good springs etc.
