Great kit, I have one on my Caddy. Great lowering and really comfy for a coilover kit :)>

[@MECHANRICKS]

👍 Yeah its a great kit for the money

[@andrewjohnson750]

Did you fit the black cups/ spacers that come with the kit on the top of the strut ?

[@MECHANRICKS]

If you mean the strut top mounts, then yes 👍

[@gandhi1078]

Can you get machined top mounts for these like the T5

[@MECHANRICKS]

I would definitely imagine so but its not a product we've personally looked to see if its available.

[@wildishshambino4176]

Does the rear kit come with the centralising plate to bring axle to centre of the arch?

[@MECHANRICKS]

Yeah everything needed is in the kit 👍

[@jyt2837]

Didn't cut bump stops?

[@MECHANRICKS]

Yes we did, we just didn't film it 👍Well noticed though I've been waiting for that comment 😀

[@MatsDetailing]

Do you need to buy new shocks for the rear? or is OEM fine just to put back in?

[@MECHANRICKS]

The rear shocks come with the kit and I'd recommend using them, you could use OEM shocks but the damping rate would be affected

[@MatsDetailing]

@@MECHANRICKS We haven't purchased this particular set as we live in New Zealand. I've purchased some 2inch blocks that should lower it on the cheap, but just wondering if i should opt for new shocks whilst im down there.
Thanks though!

[@MECHANRICKS]

No problem, I'd recommend upgrading the shocks if you can but if your going the budget route technically there's nothing stopping you from keeping the stock shocks on
