Right...
Sid, rear mounts are 6 month old standard mounts. Swapped them a few weeks back as one was actually detached. That made a big difference. Rear shocks are Bilstein B4s and are 2 years old but good nick with no leaking
Rip, tyres are 195/55/15 toyo t1r all round with 36psi in with 6 mm of tread.
Yesterday at ace I picked up a set of 30mm gti eibach springs for £30. Fitted them today and took it for a very brief forgive. Only brief because both petrol stations near me were closed and I was below the red line! Tomorrow will take it for a drive round my local "testing" roads and see what it's like. Steering seemed a little less responsive but that will be because it's now higher at the front. Rear needs to come up a little.
Oh and whilst up in the air with both ARB links disconnected, I checked the ARB. Nice and free moving. In fact it might be slightly too free so will be going and getting two new bushes tomorrow.
