All done FBM. the wishbone wouldnt fit back over the the 2 lugs that are mounted on the either side of the crosmember, had to line up back one first then the front with a lot of persuasion.
Ended up using a siscors jack on an angle from the back of the drum to the floor jack to line the wishbone with crosmember.
I hope the springs drop they were 2" lowered only droped 15mm
Any advise of a better way ?
Cheers

The springs/front end kind of settles a bit after fitting and a few runs so you'll find the front end may lower a bit more over time than the 15 mm that it's dropped so far.Although I'm not sure whether it will drop another 35 mm to give you the 2 inch drop the manufacturer has said

.
See how it goes, the worst thing that can happen is you have to remove the spring and cut off another 1/2 to 1 coil from the spring to get your 2 inch drop your after
