Cheers

I happy that this part of the car is now finished and its much better on the road (I hated the ride on the road before), but pissed off that Saturdays TrackScotland open pit trackday was cacelled due to snow. All that rushing about to get it done in time

I'll take it to a regular Knockhill Hot Hatch day when I get back from India in 3 weeks and see how it drives on track.

Nitin loves turd!

Looks awesome bud, and many man hours well paid off

Got this job to do myself, and not looking forward to it, but your thread has made good for inspiration

Respect

Well done mate, great job!

Thanks

I forgot to post these pics up. This was after I panicked that the ES bump stops were too tall for the Tein Basic's. Only the drivers side was built up, we got the shock back off teh car and cut both of the front bump stops.

Hey Merlin, I forgot to post up the pictures I took of my ES bushes the other day.

I had to hazard a guess which ones you were on about from your description, so I'd guessed you were talking about these...

But from my memory from when I replaced my bump stops well over a year ago, I thought these top ones better matched what I remember (For all four corners)...

Though I'm sure you'd know if these four were used else where on the car. (I've not looked at where any of them go yet.)

Cheers for the pics Nathan. Yeah they are the bump stops in your first pic. I came to the conclusion that they are OEM poly replacements and not truly meant for aftermarket suspension, hence the different sizes comapred to the Tein bump stops which are the same size front and rear.

The second pic contains either front or rear shock bushings (kit 16.8106 or 16.8108). Whats in that bag is the main shock bushing that goes in the lower arm and the 4 little bushes are the replacement bushes for the OEM top mounts
