Time for some small updates.
OP has been updated to reflect the current state of the car.
I've also been looking at getting the suspension aspect of the car sorted out, originally I was hoping to get the GTWorx Bilstein/RCE kit in the car, but with two unsuccessful attempts it was time for something else.
I have some Koni Sport Yellow struts on the way now (
front &
rear), these should be here in the next two or three weeks.
They will be coupled with
RCE Yellow springs, offering a mild height drop of 15mm to 20mm and an 150% increase in spring rates over the OEM springs.
I've also sourced a set of donor struts as there is a requirement to modify the front strut housing to accommodate the front inserts and the spare parts will be used to finish the struts off so that they can be fully assembled before getting installed on the car.
The car should sit like this when everything goes in, will also be swapping out the OEM rear endlinks for the Kart Boy ones that I purchased some time ago.
