Cheers Scott, ride quality is better than I expected, I'd imagine it'll get better once they've bedded in properly but so far so good.

Got 2 new track rod ends ordered which should be here on thursday, I think next thing after payday will be replacing the FARB bushes and console bushes with Superpro poly bushes, might do a few other ones while im there. I'll also be getting a 4 wheel alignmet done after payday aswell. Anyway initial thoughts on the coilovers are that handling is greatly improved, its unbelievably flat through the corners! The ride is better than expected, it should get better as the coilovers bed in more but I could probably live with it the way it is. Also got some better pictures after work -

Finally got a spare half hour to change the track rod ends. I thought the old ones were going to be a pain to remove but they came off without a problem.

While I had the wheels off I gave the top of the track rod end a covering of grease, aswell as the drop link head and the threads on the coilovers, better than doing nothing I guess. Then gave the car a quick going over with the foam lance as it wasn't too dirty.

Cant get a fitting to match my Stihl pressure washer, a HD lance was my first choice but settled for this instead. Need to get some decent snow foam though, been using the cheap stuff that came with it. Should also mention that was with the foam lance on its middle setting.

I hadn't thought of that actually, might need to rethink the foam I was going to choose
