okay. dave wound up the back and put the front king springs in today while i was playing on his secret hatch project.... front still scrub just before hard lock but thats fixable by removing the front mud flaps... other than that the steering feels much lighter for some reason and speedo is still spot on

They look great and fill the guards really nicely.

My guess with the steering would be in the process of fitting the springs the alignment was altered giving less toe in, hence lighter steering.

Check you rear wheel camber with it wound up, it tends to make them run on the outside edge of the wheel meaning theres only about an inch of tyre making any real traction while driving, can be VERY scary in the wet.
