          lol, reminds me of a certain forum members brother who also owns an s2, drove home from a garage meet we were at after having the co owner of the garage fit a set of h+r springs and rose jointed top mounts. Driving back in convey aforementioned members brother pulls over stating it feels like the suspensions falling apart. Jacked the car up at the side of the road to find the locking collars on the top mounts had worked loose and nearly came off and all four springs had been fitted upside down.....doh

            Think you might have fitted your coilovers upside down look at the room between the arch and the tyre



            this is how coilovers should be fitted, with them wound down

                          Yer its another project im on going with this is a late 84 Gti one of the first on a B-reg i got it from a mate who was threatening to restore it (it would have ended up scrapped)

                          its just got a couple of bits to finish it off and im re-spraying the the comps pearl white to tie in with the stripes, must admit its difficult to drive like that so gona lift it 10mm or so but i need some camber plates for the rear its difficult to tuck them 8x17's with an ET10
