    wasnt happy with the top mounts adjustment method so i have used the bearing mount and am building some of my own, and it gives me a good excuse to raise the towers a little.just need to slot some holes for adjustment

    so how much of this car is going to be like the factory made it? Or any factory?

    Have you modified all the parts you've bought?

    Top mounts look awesome, Alex Good thing about a bit of extra camber on the strut is extra tyre clearance against the lower spring perch.

    The raised towers will make a huge difference as well

    Can we get an up to date photo of the whole car? All the parts photos make me drool and it would be nice to get the whole lot together.

    Looks good, Alex. Very neat. Good welds too, considering its a bastard of a spot.
