The front coil overs have Koni short stroke inserts out of a VS. I didnt buy them made I bought all the parts seperate and made them up myself to the specs that I wanted. I think it ended up a fair bit more expensive this way but I got what I want.
With the coil overs, adjustable spring seats in the rear, bigger swawbars and adjustable everything (radius rods, strut tops, upper control arms, panhard rod etc) im hoping it doesnt handle to much like a VL anymore

Another update... not a lot done visually since I last posted but I have changed my mind a bit and had to pull off things already done and put different things back on (eg changed the brakes, shortened front struts etc) but it is slowly getting there.
Just gotta get all the wiring back from 12 Volt Customs and I will run all the wiring then its time to take it to a workshop for cooler pipes, solid fuel and brake lines and a few other bits an pieces.
Front brakes are harrop 4 spots with 343mm rotors. Suspension consists of oversized swaybar, adjustable radius rods, adjustable coil overs etc.
Few shots of the motor an accessories
Catch can and turbo setup
Catch can, radiator and coolent overflow
Power Steering Resivoir, VS booster and VT master cylinder
Chrome Alternator
Stripped interior ready for wiring to be installed

A few more updates... mounted trans and oil coolers and run braided lines to both coolers, remote oil filter etc. and made up the braded fuel lines to the surge tank in the boot and from the fuel rail to the regulator etc.

Oil filter has been relocated so it is easier to change and it also came with the oil cooler kit I bought so figured I would use it. Not sure on the size of the swaybar but it was the biggest 1 that whiteline made... Can pick them up from anywhere that deals with whiteline.

No updates atm... ONly got back from overseas about a month ago and its still at the workshop getting the cooler pipes made, and a few other finishing off bits like brake lines, fuel lines, bit for the exhaust made, few brackets etc. Hopefully have it back for chrissy and then I can put the interior in it and tidy up and finish off all the bits I need to.
As far as the adjustable spring seats go they are so you can adjust the rear ride height like a coilover. Dont have any pics atm as the cars at the workshop as I mentioned above.
