I absolutely love this car. Superb attention to detail and it clearly looks like it has fallen into good hands.
Just out of interest, does the Reyland conversion include custom drive shafts or are they a standard MGR shaft?

I wonder if those awesome looking front arms would foul brembo caliber sir help reduce the fouling.
I need them in purple along with rear LCA's.

Any benefits to them apart from looking awesome?

Stock drive shafts, just a custom plate to pickup the long one on back of audi motor.

Umm not 100% on that, it's usually the nut but u can use a smaller nut size to aid clearance .
Not sure I would use these yet on an everyday car / Brit roads :-)

They are substantially lighter than stock units but aimed at track / race cars. Be interesting to see how they hold up.

They r from dna motoring in the states.

They are from Spc mick but they are no longer in production. Cost an arm and a leg for the very last service kit from us suppliers but worth it. Adjustable camber and castor[emoji106]

Is that due to the polybushes? Or something else I don't see due to being blinded by awesome.

In all I'm just thinking in terms of general bling for the car (who doesn't want cool lookin bits) and lighter suspension components can't hurt I guess.

The whole front set up looks great though.
Makes me want to spend loads haha.

Great update, good to see you're back at it again

What's the reason for the swap of pistons? Stock AUQ 1.8T ones are forged Mahle and are good for ~500bhp...
