For the last 2 months or so I've slowly been building up a collection of shiney new parts to fit on the car, to improve on the handling and get it ready for Brands next month. I kicked off last weekend by changing the springs around. I bought a new pair of 13kg (730lb) springs for the front, and I've moved the old 11kg (620lb) front springs to the rear for a much stiffer setup all round. Hopefully this will cure the remaining body roll problems I had at Silverstone and Llandow, as well as making the back end a little more lively!

Then for the past 2 days I've changed all the wheel bearings and studs, replaced the rear trailing arm bushes, replaced the rear calipers for ones that work properly, and finished it off with 15mm Eibach wheel spacers. Huge thanks to Tom and Neil at TGM for helping me out on Thursday with the bearings and bushes, deffinitely something I didn't have the expertise to do.

All that remains now is to get the geometry setup again and corner balance it, and change the brake fluid, and fit some decent tyres...

Here's a couple of pictures I took last night as I was finishing up:

No rubbing issues thankfully!
