Still sorting out the ride height but getting closer.. CPR's back on up front.. taller tyre looks better I think.

Braided brake lines and wheels spacers on the way along with new wheel nuts... 242 setup is fitted just needs bleeding once lines are on..

CPR's on rear..

So I've finally got the ride height right (I'm picky as feck about how my cars sit) Spacers and helper springs amongst other things have been fitted to get it how I want it.. I've not test drove it yet (no brakes) but fingers cossed it drives ok.. I dare say the springs will settle and I may have to tweek it again..

Braided brake lines all fitted just need to bleed brakes..

Recaro needs a good clean!

Thanks!

Cut my rear bumper today.. it was very out of shape at the bottom where the plate brackets mounted to it.. which annoyed me.. I really want a JDM rear bumper but getting one shipped over is proving pricey.. so this will do for now. Just need new plate and I can make a new holder for it.

I took it out yesterday and it rides ok.. I need to soften it up for B roads but after a little tweeking it should be fine..

I will be making an exhaust from scratch.. thanks for the offer tho.
