Impact wrench should come tomorrow so fingers crossed these last two sh**ty bolts come off and then hopefully she'll be all lowered by tomorrow night

Got two wheel locking nuts stuck on the rear wheels because I rounded the key haha. Used my mates 400nm impact wrench and they still wouldn't budge, so hoping a more powerful one will do the trick

FINALLY GOT THE BOLTS OFF! Had to drop in to Halfords to get a Wheel Locking Nut Remover, just like a socket which is threaded backwards. It took the absolute p**s to do because it didn't fit, but did it thanks to the impact wrench. The hard part is getting the bolt back off the remover because it threads so tightly. Should be low again tomorrow :P

Thanks guys. Who would have thought the hardest thing about modding my car to date would be taking a wheel bolt off haha

So she's finally on the deck again! Only took me a couple of hours and managed to finish before it started pi**ing it down. Sorry for the poor pictures, i'll get some more asap;

If anyone's curious that's a 60mm drop all round on 15's. I know the front are Apex 60mm because you can see the writing, but it's rubbed off on the back so I assume it's 60mm too, I could be wrong.

It says Apex60 on the front springs, but the paints come off the backs so there's no writing. I don't mean you can actually see it in the photo, but I could when I put the springs on haha

Haha, it confused me thinking about your confusion haha. Doesn't even feel like it needs to be tracked which is a bonus, but i'll go anyway just for my tyres sake
