On next were the new Venom Motorsport Grooved Discs and G60 Uprated Brake Caliper Carriers:





So finally the Front is complete:



Up next.. Road test..

[Trottagti]

I'd really get it aligned asap before hooking around lol...!!!

Just to be safe, how you measured your ride height so your the same on both sides????

[SooperDR]

Yeah.. I literally only drove to the Petrol Station..

Hopefully getting it 4 Wheel Laser Aligned ASAP..

I counted the threads on each side first and then with a metal ruler measured from the top and bottom of the threads to the spring seat..
So using the C-Spanner to adjust slowly, they're the same, to within a millimetre on both sides.
