I would if I were you, HEL ones are priced very well and good quality, added bling too

Cheers, yeh its always a nice feeling when it all just fits together "like so".
The brake hoses will be changed however I need to decide on my set up first because I will obviously get the hoses to match. At the moment I think the most likely candidates are the twin pots from the accord type r with 300mm discs. Heard nothing but good things about them.

Yeh, the colour scheme is a bit of an "acquired taste"haha.
As sneakyparrot confirmed, the yellow bushes are the stiffer 90sha ones.
Went with genuine Rover trailing arm bushes though... like you said, some complex movements going on there so stiffening up the pivot is probably not a wise move (that is the only bush not polybushed though)

I'm really not mate, your build is part of the inspiration for this truth be told.
Once a few of us have finished these projects, we should really organise a site track day.

Been there done that! All the undersealing, burning out all of the bushes and replacing with new, painting the suspension components! Well worth it though, great work!
Since removing all of my aircon system, it's made me realise how much all of that stuff got in the way when working in the engine bay!

Experience and indecision! One minute commuter, next part track, then comfort again, now stripped again! I think I know where it's going now! Wish I had two, one for modifying and one for keeping standard!

I followed your thread closely, in fact the part number you listed for the rear ARB bush got me out of a sticky situation, turns out the Civic ones are too small but luckily that company do a ZS specific one... so cheers
