Spent 8 hrs on the front suspension last night: replaced the outer tie rods, control arms, added Treehouse racing cabs, H&R Race front and rear springs (extra 10mm spring pad added to the rear), Kopis, Goodyear F1 GS-D3 215/40-17. Also new is the Bosch Euro ellipsoid :D s.

The ride is much firmer than the H&R sports were, and I love it. Not sure about the rear pad added, it makes for a tiny bit of sway, but I needed it to clear the tires. Can't tell much about the THR cabs because everything else was changed too, but it definitely handles better than before. Tires need to settle in before I can push it but I like them so far.

Thanks guys. Trust me, the dirt is there. It is really filthy right now, the pics just don't show it as much as I thought. Gonna clean it tomorrow, and polish with some S100 and the Porter Cable. Then some Meguiar's NXT. More pics later. winkeye

I think that's a hot climate + aircon spec panel Andy.
This is why I no longer drive an E30......
