I sold the stage 3 rear beam and took a standard beam and arms over to scs to get one of there beams,Then with standard style rear arms I at least can fit the bladed a/r/b links and have somewhere the weld the brackets to the arms
Mounted the oil cooler to the n/s space behind the bumper and routed the pipe work up nice
And have been pissing about with a celica breather system that just need a bracket or two to fit nice and a -10 fitting welded on to suit the three pipes on a cossie
Pic on celice st165
Will need to be painted after welding but will fit nice

Got the front all on now and it can stay on this time and orded a new wind screen,the dash is off to autoflock for flocking next week.
I have orded a SCS 6 degree beam so when I get that it will be rolling!!!
I need check straps on all 4 corners as when you jack the car up the shocks hang to low and try to pull the front drive shafts out

adrenaline stage 3 needed modifications to the body and I don't think the trailing arm are strong enough,there strong enough not to brake just twist and flex in the corners

Hi Brett, these are the top mounts
You dont want to ask how much they are 
As for choice of suspension.......well the current Koni/Ahmed combi are going to have to go in favour of something like B.A.D or similar. Depends if i go to billet uprights on the front as well
Don't make them too big or you will need AG Focus style holes in the bonnet
