S3 brace now fitted.
Did a few other bits that it's been needing.

New FK rear shocks to replace rattly others.
Front brake sliders free'd up as they were noisy.
New power steering pump as the other was noisy as flip!
Refitted the splitter after it met some grass....

Got some fresh calipers to go on the rear with discs. Will do that next Saturday before Ultimate dubs and get the wheels off and polished and the car all bufty!

Looks sweet on the move. Should be lowering mine this week. Is the standard anti roll bar going to be in the way?

2 fresh wheel hubs and bearings as old ones were a little noisy.



Younger fresher s3 rear calipers as mine were a bit sticky.
