its at the garage getting bled right now though...

Hopefully before the R/R at R-tech i should have:

-At least a front ARB if not rear aswell
-AP Coilovers
-New top-mounts, Bearings and hopefully someone can tell me do i need new bumpstops with coilovers?
-polyurethane wishbone bushes
-CV Joint

Anything else i should get done suspension wise while i'm at it???

Well the house I was buying fell through last week (we were all good to complete before Xmas too  :angry: :angry: :angry:)

So I have a dangerous amount of money sitting in a bank account right now...not sure the other half would be chuffed if I used it though  :tongue:

But in the New Year, I might get an exhaust........just treat her to a service next week for now.

cheers mate yes their price is good and i have been happy with mine but not so now and time to replace there are some others with problems with their jom kit ask jonnyturbo we will be replacing his two rear shocks at the weekend dropping on shocks and springs at nearly 100k will be fine as your replacing both components together shouldn't make any difference but depends on any wear in any bushes etc

well i'll see whether I can find any bargains around.  I was wondring whether if I got just springs for lowering could do too much damage if I left the original shocks in place as I don't think the originals are too bad since I aint doing any track works...just want her to look a bit better since so many people have taken the piss about the height.
