It comes with manual & cd. But you don't have to use them.

He has fitted the top wishbones upside down. The coil over shocks should be mounted from the bottom of the upright onto a chassis point. That had taken a lot of thought & effort to come out with this set up.

I can see what you're thinking but those aren't wishbones+coilovers, they're fixed mountings for the top of the McPherson struts... They won't be fixed for very long!

Shocking! (no pun intended)
I can see the McPherson strut idea, but dismissed it originally. I can't find another 7 type with McPherson, and look at the bottom drop-link. It is a trailing arm aided with an anti roll bar.
I'm convinced is assembled incorrectly - but!!

Ok. Thanks for the info. So my comments now are -
Why even design this for a seven style car,
Coil overs don't look strong enough,
IVA compliance?
