getting your 15 year old sister to do most of the work for you, priceless. :smiley:

not much to say really, im just amassing parts now to do everything at once.

bit i have bought:

16v brakes.

16v hubs.

new wheel bearings all round.

bottom arms.

new ball joints.

polybush kit.

and because of all this work i have to do on it i have bought an impact wrench and some sockets, soon i am going to buy a compressor off a mate.

i have a bit of a dilemma though, i am thinking about putting coilovers on it, but i have heard to ride will be too harsh with the car polybushed as well.

only problem i have is the car is too low for me, i keep catching the front wheel on the wing when turning and i cannot have people in the back plus speedhumps and so on.

its the only thing i dont like about the car, it really pisses me off at times so i am going to have to change it.

apart from coilovers what other options do i have? i think the cars look daft with standard suspension on, but i would like to lover it maybe 20-40 mm. at the mo its -60mm.
