So, some shiny stuff arrived on Monday afternoon




There were 4 matching slightly smaller boxes for the rear, but these ones had new front struts and springs, standard height (yes I'm slightly mad but i have my reasons)

Springs are significantly longer, but thinner as they're standard. Apparently you can't get uprated Bilsteins in standard height



So got the bits and pieces together (top cup was drying after a bit of POR15 and black paint TLC)


Assembled


So I managed to get this one installed on Tuesday morning after spending ages trying to batter it into submission on Monday evening. Also fitted a new bottom wishbone and am hoping that will sort out my tracking issues, although the old one didn't look damaged in any way

Got the driver's side one assembled and am waiting for the rain to depart before I finish installing it. Haven't fitted the new wishbone on this side as it looks pretty new and the boot covering the ball joint was mint condition.

Once I get it on it's front wheels I'll start work on the other end. Will probably post some pics with the new fronts on as well.
