Thanks for the replies all!

First things on the list have got to be sorting the suspension and body work. Going to drop the rear sub frame out at the weekend and get a real good look at it! Does anyone use Superflex here? Is there a definitive list of bushes to use, maybe some part numbers? I'm not a million miles away from a Superflex in Uxbridge so I guess I can just take the old ones out then mix an match where necessary

My local motor factors managed to quote me for a set of shocks front and rear at a price that seems fair. Where did you guys get your low/up rated springs from exactly? I've followed a few links after nosing around the "How to" section" but apart from AVO I'm drawing blanks! The AVO springs will obviously do the job but they only seem to chop 35 mm off the beanpolesque height, I was looking more along the lines of 45-50mm (assuming clearances allow!). Forgive my ignorance but it doesn't seem like a huge amount of work to bung coilovers on the rear but height adjusting the front seems like more of a job! Anyone out there running S13/14 front struts, if so have you replaced them with Tein/Koni type units?

As for welding the diff..... I'm well up for a bit of that action.... however, have you ever tried to explain to a traffic officer why it's not actually possible to drive your car without going just a little bit sideways!!

Tell me if I should move my thread some where more apropriate (polite answer only )
