Got the shocks and springs and top mounts done today, the snap on impact gun got those bolts off in one 
At first I was a bit worried at what the ride height was going to be like from the difference in the sprigs, they felt a similar spring rate to them but that's just with feeling weight on it.

She now sits nice, I wasn't after anything too low because I still want the car looking prison spec but the front end feels much nicer now with new items in place of the 20 odd year old ones. still got a little room to settle down as the springs were new but I'm more than happy with it. Getting some 14 inch pepper pots soon along with a gti rear beam as the back is still loose as hell.
