I really like the 5 spoke Compomotives.

Standard suspension or modified? Lowered?

I have just ordered Koni adjustable shocks and Ahmed Bayjoo fast road springs.

I am getting a 22 mm rear ARB made up and am planning to fit it all with poly bushes (which I need to order). I have Graham Goode Group N Strut top bushes.

And I want to complete the package with Compomotives just like yours. My car is white so I will go for light silver / grey rims.

i was thinking about getting another arb but i will try my "new" beam first, ive been running std with ggr diff mount, now im adding polys too. i had to cut my rear springs since they didnt lower the car anything, looked like shite.

what is a strup top?

they will look just spot on mate

Group N top suspension mounts:

Works much better than a poly bush.

I almost forgot; I also have an MSD up-rated diff mount.
