Looking good, sits nice , how you find the coilovers ride ?
Theyre really good, abit bouncy at first but now they seem to have settled it handles solid. still need to sort the tracking amd camber so will be awesome
I might need to raise it a little, tyres scrubbing whilst doing 70 :wink: on the m1 was scary :?

Looks spot on mate I would love to do my rear axle as well, might get round to it over the winter if I have the knowledge to do it :dontknow:
Keep the updates coming
cheers, no part of the rear was technically difficult, just abit frustrating trying to get it back together without ruining the lovely fresh paint
also i cut the rear bushes in half in the end with a stanley knife as they werent playing ball, no issue though as the mounting bolt squashes it together anyways
