Update:

Easter Bank Holiday installed new AP coilovers, uprated front top mounts & bearings (TT ones so slightly stiffer rubber) new drop links.

Started at 8:30am finished by 18:30, would've been much quicker if it wasn't for the top mount bolts spinning, what a barstewards of a job they turned into. Luckily got a Dremel to get underneath & cut them.

Had to also cut a square section out of my 22mm long socket as the strut tool I bought was totally useless.

Found both my rear springs had snapped.

Gone with AP's as I couldn't stretch to Bilstein, but more than happy. Handling has totally transformed. Car also looks really good.

I'll get some decent pics up when I've cleaned my car.

Got new track rod ends to go on, just didn't have the time or the energy to change them after all the faffing so I'll get them done when I get the tracking done soon.

That'll be the front end pretty much refreshed bar the ARB.
