Only done rears at the moment, they are stiffer as can tell when the car drops out of the garage. Will post up thoughts compared to OE and the recent KYB's I had fitted when the fronts go on.

You would think as believe the Prodrive setup with Eibachs is £1800 (I already had the Eibachs)
But big thanks to Ebay and a cheeky 'offer'

Not lowered any more, as was on Eibach springs before so the same ride height.
Looks high in last pic as had just been dropped of the trolley jack.

The rears had a fresh coat of black underseal as the original stuff was peeling off, then a coat of silver smoothrite.

The fronts were just cleaned up and painted with smoothrite, as it's quite hard and resists alot of stone chips. The more coats the easier it is to clean off.
