Your coil overs are interesting, never seen a setup like that before, so you've ditched the std springs alltogether? Did you have to reinforce the top mounts?

Only reinforcing to shock towers is a length of square tubing mig welded between them in the boot. I'll just see how it goes over time. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Id suggest maybe cutting out the shock towers and making your own.. You would be spewing if the setup you had now failed :P Got a pic of the boot area? I wouldnt mind seeing how you renforced the towers

Is your panhard rod on upside down? Kink points down to clear the exhaust?

Yes, panhard has since been changed. Get some pics of boot up when I return home. Coilovers came from a friends circuit car with stock towers and no problems were reported. Mind you the track would not have been as bumpy as our roads Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
