wow not bad..

so wat exactly was needed?

The lower fork mount for the rear shock is 5mm wider than the bush, requires spacer which I made on the lathe.

I used the upper mount off the originals but used the rubbers off the BC's

The height on the rear is wound right out, this is as far as the springs can go. You could possibly run a thicker rubber spacer, or new springs if you needed more height.

I would say this may have been designed for an arx, do the actual mounts change position on those compared to mine?

hm.. very intresting..

ill find out more about it in time

Looks good Scotty. The rear is very low.

From what I have read there is no difference in the components between the RS and ARX for suspension.

I would love to rip the wheel off one. Anybody around south east Melb with an ARX? :P

So what gives the ARX its height if the parts are the same?

It is the springs, shock and wheel size.

If you want to send me your VIN I can check some of the part numbers be your car and mine and see if they are different.

You mentioned that you used the mounting on the rear from the old shocks. I had to do the same with the Bilstiens also.

Hi Scotty, if you still need to see an ARX, let me know...

Keep an eye out for a silver ARX, it should be locked in the garage....

Drop around for a coffee if you like.

    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
    • Cracked deck  And other cam snap stuff   
    • A few random issues have popped up since my last update. My WMI pressure sensor failed within about 10 minutes of it seeing liquid. It was a 20$ China special, so I'm not surprised. My name brand replacement should arrive today.  My power steering assist also decided to crap out last weekend. The usual, works for about 60 seconds after starting the car then I lose it. I dusted off my old copy of NDS and connected to the HICAS ECU. Code 4 for assist solenoid.... I tested the solenoid and it's fine.  I knew the day where my HICAS ecu would crap out would come, and I welcome it. It was the last HICAS part on the car that is now in the bin. I've ordered an SSR and I will control the power steering solenoid with my Haltech ecu. It will be nice to have proper speed referenced assist again after all these years.   
    • Haha I just finished the last season of TPB: Jail last month. I'm happy they're still pumping out episodes.
