Day 16 to 18


I havent posted for a while as I have been waiting for my suspension lowering kit to arrive....these parts are now all here!

The front suspension before stripdown
The wheel hub ready to be removed

Front suspension completely removed


Driveshafts to be modded by Auto Transformations as this MUST be professionally welded after modding, wishbones ready to be modded by Extreme.

...just so I remember how the wires were attached to the bracket...

here is the complete front suspension as follows: 1 = top mounts with bearing supplied by Extreme, 2 = Dampers supplied by Dampertech, 3 = Springs supplied by Dampertech. 4 = track rod ends supplied by Extreme, 5 = Original wishbones modified by Extreme, not shown = Drive shaft extension pieces supplied by Extreme ( they are being fitted to the driveshafts at this time
here is the complete rear suspension as follows: 1 = rear Dampers supplied by Dampertech, 2 = Springs supplied by Dampertech, 3 = rear Spring adjusters supplied by Extreme


New damper ready for spring to be fitted

Springs compressed ready for top mount

top mount fitted

spring compressors removed

wishbones all painted up ready for refittingI am now just waiting on the return of the drive shafts.I do have to say that the driveshaft extension pieces supplied from Extreme were too slack to be fitted into the driveshafts and would not have been a tight enough fit. to this end, I am having new extensions made to more exact dimensions for a more perfect fit as these are CRITICAL to the handling of the car. When I get these back fitted I will post more pics of the front end suspension mods.
