Cheers Lads - appreciate the comments.
Nick.. cool man - I shall do...
Anyway... I'm pretty fcking annoyed at the minute, for the following reasons:
- The rears are/were alraedy wound all the way down.. yeah seriously - how so - springs go lower like FFS?????
- I had to remove the rears to discover that they were already all the way down anyway - hassle; if you've ever tried to get in to the inner 14mm bolt for the rear strut towers... it's not the most accessible - hell, it's damn well tight to say the least. Joy.
- I will probably raise the front now just to make it look not so broken. Annoyance.
- Gutted, as I'd rather get a refund and get something that does go lower at the back. More annoyance.
All in all.. what was the point.. I might sell these. They are great coilovers - but ride height adjustability.. I expected more.. far more - especially having had these on my Civic and being 110% familiar with the way they work, and I've read/researched that these are more or less the same units but for the slight differences upfront (lenghts of steerings arms etc.)
Back to the drawing board.. or I could just not go low... hmmm :?
I washed it though!

FOAD. Use the search.
Mike, yeah with effort. Not worth the hassle - I think by the time you've got an EP3 ready to accept/accomodate these coils - you'd have been better off just paying for new coils for the EP3..
I think you'll need DC5 TRE's and modification of the steering arms (unconfirmed... but I suspect there is some truth to this as I notice slight differences between the coils as I had these on my EP3 also).
