So I finally got around to fitting the bilsteins and a set of aristos that I bought of the forum, this is how it stood. I liked doing things right so I set the ride height with a set of linear calipers to start of with to their recommended minimum height.
Then I decided to screw that as the back looked way too high so I took the adjusters out and let the springs sit on the mount with a plastic washer in between.
So those black anodized adjusters are now out. I then immediately took the car to an impromptu track day.

This was my first ever track day so was just getting to learn the track in that video. As you can see the back brake discs were never in good condition so it was inevitable that the pads were going to get destroyed and the track did that along with destroying a nearly worn set of tires that hadn't been tracked since I lowered the car.
I cheaped out on it at the time and replaced only the pads. So the crappy discs scrubbed through them in another few months and another track day. I first planned to replace pads and discs but, I bought a set of 256mm that needed reconditioning. I'll throw some photos of them up soon.
I have a few photos from the second track day, just waiting to get them of a mate. It was a lot of fun but it is costly, for one I used a full tank in 1 hour of track time.
