Glad to hear you chose Lovells. You won't be disappointed I don't think. Not sure how you will get on with standard shocks on shorter springs though. KYB rears can be run with standard and FE2 springs as they are a medium length. KYBs will improve the ride quality over stock Monroes.
I have kybs in the front but they are for the stock hight and not a clue what is in the back

super lows from lovells came in today, just finished installing them car is sitting nicely still got stock ride hight shocks
Is this in the rear? What is stopping the springs falling out when the suspension goes into full droop say you drive over a pot hole what stops the spring falling out? Maybe get some shorter shocks. If you jack the rear from the factory jacking point does the spring fall out.

Nah they stay in at full droop I made sure of that before I dropped the car then hit a bump checked and they did not move

Last step done completed my Wheel alignment
The camber adjustment points didn’t fix it hence why it’s slightly out

You said you got super low, but that looks like the height of sports low.

Nah they are supers dropped the car around 65mm and before putting the springs in I matched the parts number and it says super lows, the photo was taken the morning after I did them so it will sink down when they wear in I suppose
