Yeah, I've got a duckbill in the garage. Will get round to fitting it soon, just want to get new coilovers on first and set the right height. At the mo I can't get up my drive with the duckbill on! hopefully won't have to raise the car too much!

How you getting on with the spax coiles?
How much lower could you go on them if you wanted to?

Cheers man!
I'm really pleased with the coilovers, ride comfort is a lot better than before and now makes the car a joy to drive.

Could go a fair bit lower on the back but only a tad lower on the fronts eg a few more turns. As I've got a sloped drive I'm as low as I can go! They definatly don't go as low as other coilovers 25-65mm only.
