Default Big thanks to Mr. Rainbird

for convincing me to ditch my gaz coilovers for konis and supplying the necessary parts at the right price

the car is now SOOOO much more enjoyable to drive, i can now do speedbumps and everything

seems like konis + ahmed springs are the way to go on a road going sierra

Jim, could you please take some pics with this kit on as im curious how the rideheight is compared to ones ive already got?

Or even better, if its not to much asking, please measure the distance from center to wheel arch.
