Eibach 50mm springs, they look seriously ace on the car. Car looks perfect ride height wise now! They also give a lot more confidence in the corners aswell!

G60 brakes, standard discs with Pagid pads.... cant say much cos they re bedding in but they look ace behind the wheels!
Any ideas how long i should bed them in for? been doing lots of gentle braking to try speed things along!
Did a little test from 60-0 on the standard brakes last night and am gagging to go try it with my new setup!

Next on the list is 20mm wheel spacers for each wheel and front upper and lower strut braces and eventually new shocks.

All fun!!

Get them wheels cleaned

Cleaned and refurbed!! They really are in need of some sorting out.

Black powder coated centres with a highly polished lip!

Looks good.

Where did you get the Eibach kit from, and how much was it? And do you know what you'll pay for the 20mm spacers?

Might be getting my G60 setup this weekend - the arrival of pads and carriers permitting

They certainly look good behind the std wheels!

Springs came from Venom motorsport Â£120.21 delivered i do believe.
Spacers are Â£80-90 i think for the four.

Springs n brakes cost me Â£90 to get done as well as the tracking sorted!! Bargain!

Would also like to know this!

carriers were brand new so just a case of painting them.
calipers i wiped down 1st with some special cleaning stuff, cant remember what it is called but was pretty easy to be honest.
I didnt do the best job of it to be honest but you can only see a small amount of the caliper so can get away with it!
