Specials on Oils at Supercheap start today by the way.
Also, purchased
Rear Offset Castor Bushes
Rear Billet Control Arms
Front and Rear Brake Rebuild Kit
Front Poly 18k Swaybar Chassis Bushes
Looking at replacing Front Droplinks with the Whiteline items - Part No Anyone?
Rear Shortened Droplinks are still looking brand new so will leave those.
Schumie has grabbed a trailing arm off his silver POS along with the ABS ECU and front sensors so will hook those up once they arrive.
Hooray for no error codes and working ABS/TCL
So the whole suspension and braking system will be rebuilt pretty much.
Im thinking i may sell these V1's and get some Golds as i feel these may be just a tad too soft for track use.

No i tend to not order through ebay unless i have to, i got the billet arms from ebay.
I like to get my sh*t from Brakesdirect its really cheap - was $85 for the castor bush and $17 for the swaybar bush.
Yes I have 18mm its an aftermarket adjustable blue one, ended up getting electronic verniers and measuring. Had jap sticker on it so im assuming cusco? Well i hope so anyone

This isn't the secret by the way.
Thought because im rebuilding the Entire Rear end of the car i'd make it show worthy and clean up the arches.
Used Shift-It to get rid of all the dirt and crud, then some underbody sealant and silver.
Will be painting trailing arms once i have the bushes pressed into them.

Thanks Dwayne
I really want to do everything right this time, I'm finding I'm coming along and fixing a lot of my dodgy mods that I did when I first modded the car.
That spray rubber undercoat really comes up good I'm thinking of doing the entire rear end with it, but I'm not sure if that kind of stuff melts and drips if it got too close to the exhaust.

Should be ok to use.
I did the entire rear end of the Sigma with rubber undercoat and had no issue.
Exhaust/ transmission tunnel and all.
Add to that, the entire underbelly of the Mercedes is rubberised up to the mid section of the engine bay.

How are the QFM Brake pads? Ive been weighing up these vs EBC Green/Red. The guys from Brakesdirect reckon these are the bee's knees, can you back this up?
