Thanks for the metric measurement for all of us not wanting to measure stuff in burgers per bananas

Might be able to get a claim for refund as per Koni's latest reply so may very well end up witha set of MCA coilovers if they can guarantee me they wont have the rattle in the top moounts Ive experienced.

What crap brand of coilovers were you dealing with?

Either improperly installed or just terrible quality

One was silvers neo max and the other was an older revision of some MCA coilover. From your reply it sounds like its not the norm, which is good to hear.

Looks like my chances of that refund on the Koni is slim.. Im definitly not digging the difference in front height (very tight 1 finger gap) and will only look lower when myself and partner are seated in the car.

My options are swap the swifts out for some local sourced whiteline springs. They will get me back the height in the front and as a bonus bring the rear down by 10m. The only concern I have is the spring rates are lower at 8.7F 8.6R compared to the Swifts 10F 10.5R. So I would hate to lose any obvious performance or perhaps I can recoup that by firming up the koni and or doing something with front and rear sway bars.
