[QUOTE="oscar, post: 157574, member: 2757"] haha tut tut. i wont lie to you, the ride is very firm but body roll is drastically reduced. when you go lower, the ride gets harsher but we won't get into that! installation is a small faffabout really if you're a begginer. you'll need a swan neck spanner and an allan key to remove the top nut which will be rusted so get some wd-40 onto that. if the nyloc nut get's rounded you'll have a world of fun haha. the rears are as simple as can be, jack the car up on the chassis NOT on the rear axle beam or suspension components. on each side, push the hub drums downwards so that you can pull the spring out, don't worry the rear springs aren't compressed. the little spring perches that they sit on are ever so slightly different so you'll need to go to renault and order some rear spring perches / seats (whichever you want to call them). the difference is in size, they will both sit on the axel perfectly but the spring side of the perches are larger for the gt as the inside of the spring is a bit bigger. once you have the new perches, it's now a direct fit :) [/QUOTE]
