Well finally got the alloy lower arms, new droplinks and new ball joints fitted today, wasn't too bad a job other than rounding off one of the pinch bolts on the ball joints, got it undone with a 13mm impact socket hammered onto it in the end.
Also a bit of new under bonnet bling, how do the chinese manage to do these for £4.99 delivered, the STI logo is even up the right way when its fitted.
