Same setup my wife has on her classic,just make sure you get a proper four wheel laser alignment done,to bring all the suspension mods together and then you will really feel the difference.SJ.

Mine handled like a boat, the back end was always stepping out at unexpected times. I fitted a rear arb, drop links and took the car to Tweaks and he told me my shockers were beyond help. He then fitted me some BC Coilovers and took me out in the car to show me what it was capable of, I sh*t myself good and proper.

In a car that couldn't previously go around a roundabout at 20 I was suddenly in the passenger seat heading towards a corner at unmentionable velocity and the driver wasn't slowing down.

As long as they are not perished they will still be functional and you will be fine until a later date,so i would not personally rush out to change them all one time,just systematically go around the ones that you have not done and buy them and when your ready change the rest,that's what i am doing.SJ.

Quite like abw arches so would probably have to go wide. Probably won't be spending too much more this side of Xmas as I'm off work at the moment on crap paternity pay, need to get some money in.

They look nothing short of awesome, on the classic and newage. Deffo a mod I will do one day, I wonder what they will look like with the standard wheels on 20mm spacers.

Another package arrived today








Intercooler and pipework will require some attention, was thinking about getting it powder coated. Probably get it all fitted after Xmas now.
