Very nice and sexy transformation.

What are you doing with all the old spares?

I still have them.
@ DINODENASH: German spec seats might be an idea :idea:

So this weekend I decided to install a M Sport 18mm rear sway bar and new end links, the difference is huge. The rear is so planted, the steering more direct and it doesn't understeer anymore !
Below is the 18mm sway(bottom) vs non M 15mm (top)

Its amazing what a thicker rear sway bar can do, good to see you bought new end links, Im sure your old ones were nackered. Looking good buddy! Whats next?

Nice. Did you cut the dust cover lip? Under the impression that it would rub.

I take it you had to replace the calipers as well?

Nope ! No cutting needed, the lip curls inward towards the shock.
Yes I had to replace the calipers as well.
