Car is entirely rose-jointed now, everything is metal to metal inc top mounts, Gravel spec magnesium Bilsteins, and has compression struts, and although I can't abuse it yet, the turn in is stunningly quick, and even with no front ARB ( got a group A bladed one to go on if needed) the car is just flat all the way though corners.

Believe it or not, the ride isn't harsh either, it is stiff, but not crashy or excessivly bumpy , just very pointy and complaint as I hoped it would be

If your rear springs are hight adjustable you can crank them down to the bump stops and this will show you how close they are.
