Hi chap, i have a graphite grey dash surround to replace your wooden one, give me a buzz if you want pics also i would not go lower than 35-40mm on the suspension. i have always used G-MAX supersport kits which cost around 189.00 for the lot, very easy to change. its a good kit never had problems with it, coil-overs are just too damn expensive. as for the bushes i wouldn't bother with the standard ones, for straight in for proflex, and the full kits are really cheap. last a very long time and help keep things together, would be good to do the bushes and suspension at the same time. would also be good to change the front drop-links and front and rear top-mounts . your probably looking at around 350 pounds to do the lot, no point buying second hand crap. hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
