What we have is...
Front upper wishbones and all fixings.
Rear upper wishbones and all fixings.
Rear lower wishbones and all fixings.
Front and rear arb bushes and bolts.
Tracking rod ends.
All genuine parts.
Car should drive like brand new as I feel it's a bit wallowy in the corners now.
Getting fitted on Saturday. :thumbsup:

I shall pass it on.
Found out the rear hub bushes are shot and the bolts are rusted in place.
So need to get new bushes and bolts before the rear uppers can go on.
So can't get everything done today.
Ah well. Another visit soon then.

After all this, it's getting nothing else.
Purely because there isn't anything else it needs!!
Did a quick tally of all te cash I've put into it so far this year...
Funnily enough, Kevin and I know a guy who would let his garage, with mot facilities, 2 ramps and some decent space plus all the taxi business go for £70k.

Well part 2 was ordered tonight.
I now have bought myself a set of RRS Brembo calipers as well.
Bought disc's for them, Mike has sold me a set of Yellowstuff pads.
Also got new rear disc's, pads, sensor and handbrake shoes with springs and clips etc.
Another small fortune gone.

Tad bigger than expected...
Front discs are 14 inches. I've been told a RX8 has 12 inch discs..
Overkill? Me?
Now to get them painted in a nice colour.
