How many miles/kms on those plates again? It looks like they don't NEED to be lapped... but i'm not look directly at them. Any plans for them?

Yeah well, I would love to be able to get the RE-SPEED one, but considering the 3 to 1 currency rate, the taxes and shipping... its a no-no

So, I got a set of ebay subaru impreza coilovers from a friend that didnt like them, and started to work.

I made a grylon bushing, but ended up being too hard to slip over the strut, so I cutted it in two. From there on, everything went well. I used a dremmel on the lower part of the threaded sleeve and trimmed to math the strut part it stands on.
