They just turned up at work, now I want to go home to put them in.
Very shinny and green, they'd make a great wall piece. Even got a Tein hat thrown in for good measure, plus it came with about 100 stickers which will look great plastered all over the car...not. I did get a nice bubble type decal similar to the Clubman one might might go somewhere. Will keep updates on how the install goes and how they feel on the road.

Good work!
BTW if you got the version that comes with the top mounts, check that the nut holding the shock rod is tight. There have been some cases where it is loose. Also if you got the little can of anti-rust spray with the shocks, use that like holy water, it will stop the alloy spring perch from corroding to the steel shock body.

Thanks Bab. Yes, they have the top mount already assembled ready to drop straight in so I'll check that nut. Anti-rust spray... Supercheap?

To be honest the Tein spray looks feels and smells very much like WD40 to me...

It's just something I've heard from a few ppl very recently. But when I checked mine it was fine.

It's written in big letters on the top of the box \"Please tighten nut, spring seat and spring seat lock before installing\"

That is going to take longer than the extractors, so you had better buy a whole carton and I'll come over and watch again.
I can't figure out why you don't just change them on the carpet where that photo is taken.
