thanks for the translation, may need the need the camber conversion to get it legal dave hove to you do it?...

however I decided remove 1 of the leaves from the front spring to lower the car and it appears to have worked, I can get it 1cm lower by cutting down the alloy isolater blocks between the body and the spring but I'm more or less happy with it now and it may settle abit yet.. anyway- picture for your delectation-  :)
