Update and report on HSD Coilovers installed one week ago.

My wife has driven the car plenty and has not made on comment about the ride quality and thats with our 16 month old son riding in the backseat.

The Foz is now so much more compliant and easy to drive. Its also significantly more fun to drive and my spine and teeth have never been better.

I took Andrew (GTB Liberty) for a ride at lunch time and his words were "It rides better than my Liberty"

Very happy with the HSD's and recommend them highly to other owners looking to go the coilover direction. Also big thanks to Joe for organising the buy and fitment.

Installed Headlight Armour 30% smoke on fog lights yesterday, piss easy and took 10 minutes. Will look the goods once I get the lower bumper and lip installed over the hideous chrome circles around the fogs.





debadged and removed 50% tint on tails...going 30% now
