those beam specs are way out :/ if you remove the arb bolts youll find it might have some play in it. I suspect either a worn pin or dying bearings.

Yeah man, these came up for the right price including emerald k6 with a map for standard cams, wiring loom, jenvey 45's, longman inlet manifold, air filter, trumpets and 480 injectors :
Bolt on kit, got a lot of bits I want to do on the car before fitting though:
Beam rebuild
Epas setup
Battery relocation
New suspension
Possible satchshift
Change wiring loom
Fit emerald
Fit jenveys
Devise better air intake
Hopefully be running and ready by fcs next year, possibly even with some new cams and mapping work if funds permit

Thought it was about time to make a start on getting the 6 ready for spring/summer.
Dragged it out of the corner, up on the ramp and got the beam off ready to fit the rebuilt one I'm collecting off stef tomorrow
Next up I need to do the cambelt, ill order a gates kit and a genuine waterpump through work next week, order some new bilsteins then see about some breathing modifications

What bilsteins you going for ?
The more I drive mine the more I think a good set of shocks and springs would of been the better idea.

Just the postage to worry about with buying from Germany?
I might give Bilstein uk a call as we buy alot of stuff from them direct at work

They're about that from Kam Racing as well:
http://www.kamracing.co.uk/car-tuning/pe...r-kit.html
Or, if this is for all four corners ít is a great price and worth calling and asking about??
http://www.kamracing.co.uk/car-tuning/pe...n-kit.html
Koni Yellows which are what I run were a good price on there but don't seem to be available from there anymore.
I'd love an ITB setup like that!

Not sure yet, annoying thing about eibach is that they don't really do any springs lower than 30mm where I'm looking to go about 45-50mm

Ive found the same thing looking into suspension setups. I wouldnt mind getting rid of the avos but the bilsten and eibach combo only really seems good for 30mm :/

thats because any more than 30mm is daft without proper suspension work to make it work properly.
