Also brought these springs and brought new shocks which was a pain first brought some bilstein ones but they not longer stock them to the uk :/ order some off ebay the day after they were meant to arrive they contacted me and say they were on back order so cancelled the order and the morning i went to eurocarparts to pick up air filter, fuel filter and spark plugs while there i just ordered shocks. Had to go back and pick them up at 4 so did the fuel air and plugs before then. fitted them when i got back went out was good by wasn't really sitting that low and there was a rattle at the back. so saturday took it all part took out the plastic bits on the springs and some other bits and fixed the rattle by the thread on the rear shock wasn't holding the top mount to the stepped bit where the bump stop/cover goes so put two washers on top so the nut was reaching the end of thread.Bit happier with how its sitting and now just waiting for it to settle a bit.

Been awhile since an update, here it was at Japfest2:

And some more recently brought these CMS alloys as my brother wanted his lenso with bbs wheels back but going to get them refurbed properly and I just did one to see what they would look like in purple and I love the colour:

Then cleaned up the engine mounts before fitting the new bushes in

After:

Sprayed up and bushes in:

And fitting them, I will say I did it in the order of gearbox back then drivers side which I will say do the other way, do the drivers side first or other wise the engine gets harder to move around to fit the mounts.

Will be at JAE, so looking forward to it :)

Just flicking through my photo pictures I found a picture of the bolt I snapped on the anti roll bar bush from doing the engine mounts so had to drill it and using stud extractor got it out all I seem to do is snap bolts :/
