The rear drop links look like they are fitted incorrectly as the tie bars have been fitted on the wrong sides.

my lateral links aint standard ones, the brackets are seperate for the drop links,,,, they been fitted back to front whilst i get some rose jointed ones made for me,,, its the only way they would fit which is anoying but aint the fault of the part,,,, the rear lateral arms are designed like that so you can fit straight drop links to em like on the front,, downside was i had to cut mine off the roll bar due to the threads spinning,,, hence this bodge

Toss up between the new Rota GRA's or the remainder of the Type25 handling kit (ASTs and front ARB).
Haven't had chance to really test the handling yet, so i'll go for the wheels. Love the gunmetal/jap racer look. Amazing how much the wheels change the look of the car.
