Hi ya,

Firstly great job on doing it yourself :-)

Did you have any problems compressing the front springs ?

What makes things worse the the anti-roll/swarbar links is they have changed the design now, the centre bolt is a torx head and its a pain the the £$% to do up.

Are you noticing more due to you old shocks were really bad. I replaced mine in the end with Boge/OEM and it felt generally better. I wanted to put Bilsteins on but was worried about the ride being to hard for my bad back. Are these HD designs slight softer than the fully-monty set ?

Well done again,

Mark
