I'm going for reliability, so when fitted everything at the front end will be new I've already changed tow links on the rear and the bushes are fine. I have new balljoints to go in so just leaves calipers and uprights at the rear which will be done at a later date or soon if I get a good ppi pay out :lol: I went for the standard rack as Matt and a few others suggested

Looks like an old one, maybe RB3ish, but thought STR carried on for a year or so more before switching to OZ same as RB. Looks sweet either way though

New clutch arrived, this one has been tested to serious power by Jamie wilsons time attack car and it didn't slip once which amazed a few people

Unfortunately you cannot buy it in the Uk so had it imported from America
