I'll post one more for now of the start of the front suspension. sorry about jumping all over the place. When i do get to the present day it will be easier to follow.
This is a pic with the SPC a-arms and c5/c6 style spindles. For the front suspension and brakes is where I got Mark from SC&C involved. I'm doing it from home but I bug him as often as i think I can get away with. 
Thanks Mark!
and the brakes 14" Baer 6S extreme plus

A few minutes of grinding and a little touch up paint and all was good.
and the spindles mounted with my steering arms also by my friend and good neighbour Stu
Sway bar is also mounted, at least the main bar anyway after spending about 2 hours pounding those bushings in place. 
I have to get the arms pressed into shape and install the rod ends. The holes on the bars have to be drilled out after, and I'll have to make brackets to hold the lower rod ends. If anyone has any pics with a link to how they did it let me know.  |
Question,
- What made you go with Bilsteins over a adjustable style like Vair or QA1?
