looks well you get any rubbing with that spec of wheel and ride height, 18x8.5 ET35 weren't they?
Cheers man. No rubbing currently but I’ve had to add a lot of rear camber they would rub without it. Rolling my arches this week end so I can get rid of some camber and get it a little lower. 8.5j et38

Looking good buddy, keep up the good work.
Which brand of oil will you be using for the gearbox/diff?
Did a little repair on the gear stick as there was loads of movement in the nylon bush so filled the thing up with tyre glue and fitted it back on. That will never move again honestly made selecting gears feel 1million time better. I have also ordered better bushings for the fork as they are crap and heard good things about changing them for better ones.
So after fitting my softer rear springs after a bit of driving I wasn't 100% happy the ride was as it should be on the back end. So removed my rear dampers to find the damping faulty on this one
Driftworks sent me out a replacement tho under warranty after sending them a video of the problem that got to me in two days, can’t fault there service and highly recommend them.
Should hopefully be fitting it after work today fingers crossed will be all good
So I managed to figure out my bouncy coilovers problem. It ended up being my anti roll bar bushing weren’t letting the anti roll bar twist putting pre load on it coursing the bouncing feeling at lot speeds so glad that’s sorted now pretty happy with the hsd’s now to be fair. Been playing around with my ride hight and fitment a lot this is we’re its at now. Thinking I would like to get a 245 tyre on there instead of a 235 so something I may look at soon.

Looking good, I was advised also to get either a 235 or 245 tyre by chevron when they did my suspension set up but I already bought 225 AD08R'S, when replacement time comes I will go wider and have the suspension set up altered to suit.........I only do around 1200 miles a year in it so may be a while yet lol
Your car sits beautifully mate, it looks awesome with those wheels, it suits the car well, good work....
What mods are up next?
Thanks mate erm well to be fair I want to change the wheels I like them but they were just to get me by for now i am set on getting rays gram lights 57CR eventually.
i want to fully polly bush it and fit 24mm ARB’s and the anti lift kit think that’s my next thing on the list. I can get a great price on a 6 pot break kit so that will be happening at some point obvs will be getting more power out of it eventually.

so I’m fitting a few bits tomorrow I have some Godspeed brakes and pads going on all round I am planning to do a big brake kit but wanting to put money els were at the moment, I also have some carbon braided brake lines form racing lines and they sorted me out with some decent fluid 310 degrees dry boiling point so should be a bit better than what ever **** is in it now.
End of this month I will be getting 24mm Whiteline anti roll bars front and back all the drop links, anti lift kit and the roll Center correction kit try and get this thing handling right. Will also be getting it corner waited and aligned properly so pretty excited for that

Hoping so man. A place called Center gravity is the closest place I can find mate and seem to do some cool stuff, so there unless I get a recommendation to use some were els.
I no but will change every 6 months so good just to have it and it was also free so why not
