Slim pickings!
There's a few on the Facebook groups, but they're advertised as 'mint' etc. Knowing the right people soon reveals they're not without issues...
Had mine for sale two weeks ago, £600 later she's staying lol!
I'll take three.
Update!
Balljoints were pressed in along with the front Polybushes, and genuinely there is a noticeable difference in the front end being stiffer already, actually shocked.
The knocking noise lower down hasn't been resolved, but for the sake of £15 on brand new balljoints, I...
Balljoints pressed in, Polybushes fitted, they'll be back on the car tonight!
I'll also be getting some rear Bilstein B8's soon as standard rears are starting to seize and cause many many knocks and bangs.
Yeah people do say you won't recieve all of the benefits without mapping, which is true!

Sooo, had a few bits delivered this week;
2x OEM Firstline Balljoints
2x Flowflex front wishbone polybushes
One mighty Saxsport exhaust system
I ripped the old system off as seen above to make way for the Saxsport on Wednesday and got fitting straight away. Overall, I'm dead happy with the...
So my balljoints, and front Wishbone bushes have arrived and they'll be fitted shortly. In the meantime, I had a little mishap with my exhaust.
Basically since I've had the sytem, I had bodged the centre section and backbox together due to a slight difference in diameters. The centre Id was...
