changing the ride height will affect your toe settings, so get the alignment double checked once you're happy with the height

Looks like the car has settled a bit and the front has come down a little more.

Thanks for the tips jester.

I had a brief and safe moment to test the handling a little harder today, all i can say is it feels like the car has inivincible levels of unlimited grip and control with the coilover/tyre combination a the moment. The HSD's are just incredible.

All new owners of an AWD car read this again, and again and again.

"invincible levels of grip" right up to the point when it doesn't then it gets all too interesting (read WTF moment) and , usually, expensive.
