nice one glad its all sorted for you, is there any difference in ride quality with the new bags or is it the same, would you say its been worth the money for the quality of ride you get?
Sorry for all the questions I'm really interested in getting this kit

For less money you can get a set of coilovers that will be far superior ride quality however I use my car everyday so want to be able to raise it as needed. The new bags are no different to the old ones so no loss there and looks awsome when dumped on the floor. In conclusion if I used it once in a blue moon I would have gone for a top notch set of coilovers but for everyday use its air everyone.

Been setting the suspension up a little today. Started with about 28psi in the tyres just to give a little comfort there. This is how it sits with 0 psi in the suspension.
This is with 100 psi in the suspension.
This is with about 37 psi and this is how I have set it for every day use.

Several week ago I took delivery of the above stacks to go on the carbs but never had time to fit them. Being Christmas I thought I would treat myself to some car time only to find I had ordered the wrong size so this is how I set about shortening them.
First I fit the plates to the carbs to bolt the stacks to them
Then I had to cut the ends off the stacks
I then used an old coilover strut top as a dolly to reshape the tube
This is them all reshaped and pretty happy with how they look.
I them fit them to the carbs but put a small piece of metal netting behind them to act as a filter.
And this is the finished product
