Had some adjustable spring plates. They do the job in levelling up a car that sags to one side but the flip side is they change the corner weights which result in a unstable rear down the country lanes. My experience is not to bother with them just raise it with the splines, hence why i'm not offering to sell them to ya....

Re: The return of Kev - TODAY!!!
Paul watch the link l posted in your other thread ( jacking up the back). It leads to YouTube showing how it's done. It's only the 1st part of 4 but you will find them once you watched the 1st part.

Paul,
Sorry yes, anti-clock wise on the offside and clockwise on the nearside.

As you can see mine is slightly higher than yours..
I also found just lowering the front a small amount and the standard shocks were too long also then bottoming out on the bump stops.

Re: The return of Kev - TODAY!!!
Well replaced the cv boot which was easy, then fitted one of these:

and a pair of these:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Focal-Access- ... 3cbd1ee2d5
considering the low power, the sounds are very good. Having placed the speakers facing down from under the dash, it must be using the boot space for base. Its not amazing, but its there and sounds good. Tunes on a memory stick, but just bought usb to 3.5 jack so that I can use my phone too. All hidden away too

Re: The return of Kev - TODAY!!!
I mounted speeakers & sub under the bonnet with a few holes to let the noise out into the car. I mounted an amp to drive my sub behind the rear seat. The cd player jumps now & again so like you i use my ipod plug into the aux.

Not bad are they for what they are. Get yourself some radio apps, (tunein radio) app is a fantastic one to start with

Re: The return of Kev - TODAY!!!
Good to read about the sounds and speakers. You can squeeze a speaker behind the front seats too. Assuming you'd need to make some sort of box for them
