Dan offcourse there the same! (i think?)

I wasent sure on going adj or not on the swaybars but eh, aslong as im spending thousands of dollars anyway!

 

[ashleysnep]

Orite, after much reasearch and quoting on Gregs behalf ive made up the final list!

- VB-VP Upgrade to VE V8 322mm Slotted Rotors
- Upgrade to QFM A1RM Pads
- Kings Super Lows with exel G shocks (May be Monroe Shocks)
- Whiteline Premium On Car Adjustable Panhard Rod Suit Live Axle Sedan
- Brace-strut tower alloy adj
- 45011A Control arm - lower inner
- 48019 Strut bar - to control arm
- 48006 Strut bar - to chassis
- 44016 Strut - mount adjustable
- 42170 Sway bar - link assembly
- 46004 Trailing arm - lower front
- 46008 Trailing arm - lower rear

I thought it would be better to change all the bushs to nolathane before i even think about sway bars, anything not listed here has already got nolathane bushs.

Dan dont think you and haydz are getting out of helping with this! Remember we got a fool proof way to do control arm bushs!

Bit of a update, more parts are being ordered in...

Steering rack boots
Shock boots
Tie rod ends
Strut ball joint

Anyway today I finaly started pulling the car apart, the gear box is also out again for adjustments.

After the first round of degresser I was starting to think this car used to be painted white under the gaurds?

Struts out.

Painted calipers, I went for a mat finish just to be different so we will see how they look on the car!

Ill be baking them tomorrow, mmmm roast calipers So now im waiting on parts, again.

 

[ashleysnep]

What do I do on my day off? I bake ofcourse!

Anyone in the mood for roast caliper? They also came out a bit darker of a red after the bake.

Got some new bumps stops, boots, lower ball joints and tie rod ends coming aswell.
