If I pass the store again I will be sure to check, no issues if I can help a few people out.

Picked up these from Asda for £5 today, no Kent stuff left. Feel descent and cheap enough.

Looks a belter buddy, loving the plans. +1 for more photo's

All that money spent....yet failed to colour code the front bump strips? So happy for the lack of sound at work haha

Preperation is key ....... double the time you expect to prep and times that by 10. It's the only way to get a good finish. I would personally spend the £ on a pro with a good rep

Get in touch with the guys at Wests - brilliant service and very competitive prices. I've just went down the Koni yellow route - very happy with them paired with sportlines.

First shot makes me want one!

Subscribed...hate my travel mugs. Need a decent cup holder for the 182 until daily driver arrives.

Just finished fitting an hour ago Brian, just done half a tank of petrol as was having too much fun. Missed the plastic washer off, as thought I had lost it. So will pop it on at weekend. Huge thanks to all that helped in this thread!

+1 to that, looks stunning

Fair play to Larkspeed, replacement shock despatched next day delivery, perfect service. Desperate to get these on and have a little drive tomorrow evening.

Cheers Steve, I got the set up right in the end. However one of the shocks won't extend, even if I twist to softest setting. So frustrating as its a pleasant morning for a trip out after a wash.

I will double check tomorrow mate, was frustrated and distracted by team GB. Thanks for your help with all this Stevo.

Larkspeed better honour the lifetime guarantee! No wonder I couldn't getting the nut on.

Took the shock off and i think it's faulty as isn't extending. Livid!

If I use the white adjuster to hold shock & open ended spanner, I presume that would stop it spinning? Just need it sitting correct first.

This is how it looks with the circlip removed and washer fitted below (reading other posts I think it's wrong).

Right, just didn't wish to mark/rip up the shock. Everything should sit above the circlip apart from white plastic washer? Just cannot get enough shock through to get nut on. Its only when i remove circlip I can get enough shock up? Sorry for all the questions, just struggling here.

Guys, need a massive bit of help! Half way through fitting the shocks and cannot get the top nut on. Not sure if I'm just missing something so simple. There just isn't enough room/thread to get the top nut on. So on the offside i removed the clip on the shock (can be seen in the pic on the...

Thanks Ash, 110nm it is. However snapping my breaker bar hasn't helped getting bottom but off! Argghh off to halfauds in the morning for a 26" bar I think.

Torque settings for top strut bolt I believe is 50nm. Anyone know what the bottom is?

I didn't receive any Brian, was going to use the original OEM ones currently on the motor. A little disappointed mind, 190£ worth of kit you hardly expect to be missing instructions & recycle old parts.

Just took delivery of these from Lark today, fitting tomorrow. Only heard good things for the price.

Top stuff, thanks Stevo mate.

Thanks for the quick reply fellas, much appreciated. I presume the rubber gaiter currently on car fits between bottom plastic washer & first (small) washer? Cannot wait to get the car up to scratch mind - handling nearly there now :-)

Evening all, Took delivery of some new koni yellow shocks (rears) today for my 182 as the back right was shot. The lack of instructions has dumbfounded me to be honest. So could use some advice on order of the rubbers, washers & nuts. How does this look? Any advice would be great, thanks

Do a quick search, pretty sure the majority of owners will be with a handful of providers.

Try speaking to insurers, I much prefer speaking to companies than generic comparison searches.

Seems awfully high, I'm 25 with 4 year NCB and clean licence/no claims. Currently pay 420£ on my 182. What mods you running?

Just going to clean it all up & pop some silicone RVT sealant on the bolts. If this fails - another cambelt change maybe needed (cambelt done 2 weeks ago). Gulp
