    They're not going to be much good to you sitting on the table.

    Get outside & fit them!!

    Actually, they'd be very bad for me on the table, as mum would be very unhappy
    Spotties wired wednesday, suspension on thursday.
    Now all I need is a winch

    I just unpacked and repacked it
    They're in the boot atm, unfortunately I have some nice corner initiated wind chimes now

    Thankfully she wasn't here when they arrived. Still hasn't noticed the lightforce blitzs (bit hard not to )
    Or my green P's which I got today...
    I think I might just not tell her anything I do to the disco from now on, and see how long it takes her to notice

    Confucius say: Buy first, get arse kicked second.

    The arse kicking is much easier to live with than the hassle of trying to justify the purchase (plus you've already got what you wanted)!

    (Yes, my wife is very tolerant...)

    You also want to invest in a bucket of genuine shed dust for those new tools that are too shiny and need camouflaging.

    Are you going to do a suspension install thread? It'd be handy as I'm about to do my coils and shocks in a few weeks...

    It is easier to ask forgiveness than ask permission is the rule of my life!

    Unfortunately no. Well, I could but it would just be photos of me dropping at Opposite Lock, and maybe some of the receipt
    Don't have the appropriate tools or the time unfortunately.
    I need to invest in a trolley jack
    Once I have one, and an easy way to compress the springs I might take them off and put the old ones back on, just so I can familiarise myself with how to get it done, as the I've got the canning in my sights so I might need to know how to replace a busted spring/shock

    camera angle
    Front two are same height (I'm guessing they go up front, as more weight there) and rear two are slightly shorter, but equal to each other.
