Only found out tonight so tomorrow I shall get quotes! Shouldn't be too bad though.
On the plus side though, everything else is either new or solid, so brake lines and a drop of power steering fluid and a new mirror and I'm laughing.

I thought about the fg wings as well but for the money, it's not worth the few grams you would save. I bet you could sand out some of the back of the arch trims and save more! Lol.

Right, when D4 gets back from mincing around Europe I'm going to crack on with this!
The bare essentials are :
Need the fuel tank back on
Refurb the struts D4 gave me and get some new bearings in them, also get my Gaz adjustable inserts put into them.
Whap my struts off and swap the springs over, whap the newish struts on.
New driveshafts
MOT
Tax
Track!
I keep buying things and never fitting them, basically because I'm shit, busy, obese, gay and sexy!

And the rubbing of the penis around the rim, in your case you need to get really close.

Reet, so I piled down to Muz' on Monduh to help sort out the VTS a bit. Last time I was down I removed the fuel tank for the rear of the cage to be fitted and welded up, so to kick off, we got the fuel tank reinstalled, lines connected, pump connected and the handbrake cables refitted / exhaust refitted:
Cage:
Whilst I sorted this, Muz made some tea, and finished spraying the new struts from Swandog Millionaire to fit to the car. We agreed that a good place to do this so we didn't fall over them was on the large green over the road on some cardboard.
Almost immediately some old twat threw her zimmer to the kerb and ran down the street, immediately explaining it was Parish Council land and that it was a forbidden sin to spray suspension legs up on it, even if it was for a sweet VTS. What a bitch.
Then UPS rocked up with drop linkzz, it's the man in brown clown!
Moving onto the afternoons jerb of replacing both driveshaftzz, drop linkzz, and the front suspension, I utilised an OEM bonnet stay, grabbed Muz' new impact wrench and whizzed the top strut nuts loose. Sadly the battery then immediately died so I spent the rest of the afternoon spannering in a manual fashion. FML.
I also didn't take any pics of building the struts up, as I was mostly busy swearing, however it's safe to say that the new struts are considerably shorter, firmer and have a lot less give in them lol:
Everything went fairly easily, I ran out of time a bit so next monday will see the passengers side driveshaft oil seal replaced as it doesn't seal oil, which is a twat, and then I'll also fit up the drop links and generally tighten everything up, possibly even the wheels.
Ride height is pretty much identical to before, but fuck me is it stiffer!
So there we are, hopefully it'll be MOT'd shortly and back up to Knockhill for an October shakedown!

Nope, Gaz adjustables on the back, and I did run OE dampers and random springs on the front.
The Gaz on the rear are quite new too, I was basically an OE damper hero
