It's not too hard mate, Haynes will show you how to change the shock, just change the spring instead ;) Took under 20 mins to get the springs off mine (yours has 4-C doesn't it? may take a bit longer disconnecting a few more wires)

[quote=rikcougar;457514]Nice Steve, how much do they lower?[/quote] About 30mm I believe, still got some -40mm springs to fit to the Cougar, looks like I'm going to be busy. :bullwhip:

Mate, you don`t have enough time to keep on top of the Cougar, how are you going to manage two, Rachel will never see you

[quote=t5_monkey;457635]Get it polybushed! and the IPD rear roll bar.[/quote] Is the rear anti roll bar on the R the same as the other models?
