Steve,

Im thinking i do front this month and get rear next month, would that be ok for a while, also is DPM the cheapest place to get them.

I see balance motorsport do free delivery only thing the offer ends today, will they do something like this again.

Will be fine until the rear arrives, make sure you get the adjustable one as well :afro:
I got mine from balance motorsport in a deal they done last year, phone them up tomorrow and see what Julian says

If you upgrade the front do the rear as well
or just have the rear on its own

Cool, ill do that, also from your pic Steve between your tyre and arch do you have a 1cm gap.

Reason im getting the arbs is to eliminate the rubbing and and to go alittle more lower.

I was thinking get the front arb then lower front and rear togeather, so between tyre and arch around .5 gap or less, i just hope when i drive fast around corners i dont want tyre to hit the arch.

then following month get rear arbs. does that sound ok.
