Oh that reminds me i want to drop it about 5mm even more on the back! :cool: :grin:

Will be getting 288mm brake setup as part of a swap deal for my old SPAX Suspension! Hopefully that will solve the Brake pad wear and ABS light. Plus my old disk have a fat lip on them!

Oooo big brakes.  :cool:  Don't count on it solving your ABS light issues, though, what's up with the current setup other than fat lips?  :grin:

Just noticed your sig.  :grin:

Nothing wrong with them, just a cheaper option then buying pads and disks! Will be straight swapping the hubs over. Give me a chance to paint the calipers too! White did you say? :grin:

Sig has been like that for ages!

White is fine.... getting bored of seeing red calipers now, although keeping them clean will be fun....  :grin:

Don't know how I didn't notice the quote until now.  :rolleyes:

New sump plug ordered as mine has hit too many speed bumps! :grin:

Still need to get the water pump and oil sensor gaskets if any one knows the part numbers!

Trolly Jack has broke so the widow maker had to come out! :sick:

Bye, bye arches!



Both sides done now, here is what i collected!



Filed down smooth and painted again, here is the outcome:

I would have been more inclined to bend them up inside rather than be that drastic!
