ok peeps my car is leaning to left. i have mesured it from wheel arch to top of tyre. the passenger side wheel arch is bang on level with the wheel arch and the drivers side is about 2 inches above so im gessing one of my navimats its buggered.
i am going to buy this kit

as mine is a T-5R will standered springs that come with the kit be ok or will i need performance springs?

also im asuming mine has self leveling suspension. how can i tell for sure that it is? before i buy this kit

Hiya,

you can tell if they're Nivomats by a rubber 'bellow' like pictured here:

Your T-5R is probably like my R and was factory lowered so that replacement kit might bring the back up a bit higher than you want.

If it's any use I have the rear half of my Koni Sports Suspension Kit for sale, like this:

and I'm sure I can compete against £165 :-) It'll come with the different top strut mounts you need, Koni yellow adjustable dampers and red sports springs.

Cheers, Pete
