    Thanks to VT

    New suspension of eibach lowering springs, top mounts and monroe reflex shocks have transformed Rayanna. She sits perfectly and when flooring it or corning there is zero body roll.

    I am as happy as a pig in doo-doo.

    She sits quite a bit lower on the rear

    You can see from this pic below

    how bad the top mounts were. The cracking around the metal sheath is particularly prominent on the left.

    The shopping list was
    2 x top mount spring seats (as in the dead ones above)
    1 X top mount bearing
    1 x anti-roll bar drop link
    1 set of monroe reflex dampers - see here for the front near side
    1 set of eibach lowering springs

    I will take some better photos this weekend

    I know - it didn't take long to happen (less than 24hrs ). Painted rather than powder coated also means that they are even less resiliant to knocks.
