    I just cut 2 diagonal cuts thru it, then big hammer and chissel, after that, we got the swan neck pliars out and twisted it off.

    Discovered my front ARB Drop links are also FUBAR as well.

    Just need to make sure those QRS topmounts are done up tight enough

                  £250 for what tho?

                  I paid £65+VAT per pair of fronts, the rears were £140+VAT.

                  Ive just fitted 2x pairs of fronts on my car tho, so springs came to £130+VAT for all 4

                  That make sense?

                    It does make sense, but why did u fit 2 fronts on the back?

                    Also, where did u get quoted this as its still 50 cheaper than AmD

                      That was from AmD. I'll try scan the invoice in tomorrow.

                      Fronts on the back because they fit and were a lot cheaper! LOL
                      The proper rears drop the back more tho and i would like to change them to the proper ones, but they will do for now, its basically put it at about the same height it was before on standard shocks and springs.

                        I think mine were about £218 from Shy automotive. AMD were most expensive, and worst service

                            I personally had no problems with them at all, dealt with a guy called Paul there and he was nothing but very helpful.
                            Did you ask for parts for the car as oppose to asking for part numbers Greg?

                              According to H+R the springs for the coupe are only available as part of the "cup kit". They will supply the springs only if reqired. They are not cheap iro £230 a set.

                              Eibach do not supply spring kits for the S2.
