R1R's put on the rear, R888s put on the front today  :evilgrin:

Fitting the DD42 shifter bushes tomorrow.

Leaving the car with AKS when I deploy to Afghan for Ground control top mounts.  Im want to know if Ill get rid of the occasional scrub/scrape by returning to Cupra lower arms (reducing the track again) and getting the camber with the top mounts.

Oil change, decent pads and she's ready for the track.  Had a greata drive around the Derbyshire B roads yesterday afternoon  :driver:

Slightly harder wearing than 888 and better designed for dealing with the wet.  They are on the back and I only drove the car from hiQ back home (in traffic  :sad1:)
