Coilovers fitted - first impressions

CMC Coilovers are now fitted. I have only gone for a moderate drop and the dampers are on the softest setting. Impressions so far are that it feels much more controlled, no wallowing when cornering or under braking. My biggest fear was that it might be crashy and hard as has been my experience with lowering springs on other vehicles, gladly I can report that it feels firmer than standard but compliant with no bottoming out through potholes or over speed bumps so far.
The van also feels noticably lower when you are driving which makes it feel generally more planted engendering more confidence in its handling. Bear in mind this is all from someone who doesn't race around but was looking for a general improvement over stock.

Oh, and it looks heaps better, pictures to follow.
