thx mate !!!

so to update

ive decided i need to go a little lower and todo this i need my front wheels to tuck so im changing the front brakes

at the moment the wilwood calipers need big spacers for the wheels to clear so im changing them

the adapters and discs arrived the other day

Im changing my coilovers to ive bought some AH-exclusive modified ultra lows by H&R pure coilover porn lol

hope to fit all this next weekend

im also changing my wheels hopefully they will be built and on the car in the next 2 weeks

I do love this car. You are always so busy with it. I can't believe how much you've done! All that work has definatly paid off! Looking forward to seeing how it sits with those lovely coilovers fitted. I'll be purchasing a set of those soon.

Cheers mate. It's getting there slowly but surely. Itching to have it ready now for the AGM and summer fun. Not going to be in your league though    

fitted the g60 front brakes today haven't tried them yet just hope they perform ok after having the wilwoods fitted
at least now i can run without the need of a large spacer

Looking brilliant mate. out of interest how did you find the Willwoods when they were fitted. have a set on the front of mine. Were they up to the job??

The wilwoods are great I'm running a pedal box and they perform much better than the g60's and there soooo lightweight 

If I didn't have to run a spacer I would keep the wilwoods
