OK, so... I'm returning to JamSport in early July for a re-setup on castor, camber, toe, re-do cornerweighting - and putting rear toe back to 1mm toe in... how... I don't know, but I'm sure they'll have a way to do it.
Not going into depth what agreement we've come to, but I'm a great believer that everyone deserves a second chance, no matter how silly/ ridiculous/ dangerous the first mistake was.
JamSport wanted my car back, so they could prove to me, and everyone else that they are capable of doing such work.
We've come to some agreements where both parties are happy with whats going to happen.

three posts in a row - ohhh errrr...
OK - so I'm having a completely new lower suspension setup fabricated (prior to my revisit to JamSport), with some shorter tiebars so I can achieve +4degrees positive castor, and still run a locknut on the rosejoint, aswell as these, I am having some boxed off TCA's with rose jointed inners fabricated also.
I've decided to leave my current 300lb front, 450lb rear spring setup, simply because I don't think I've gave the car enough testing to know whether it's that or not.
I'm leaning towards not, as I have done a trackday at Donington (when I went with ben21 in his Astra Saloon) and the photos from there show how stable the car is through corners where I'd normally be toppling over.
I do however still want to lower the car moreso, without scrubbage and the like - so I'm on lookout for some 4/5 door / saloon front wings so they're round and I can get them flaired.
Was wondering how they'd look, but to be honest I'm not fussed...
When I had my white Nova and I crashed it, I bought some 5 door front wings not knowing they were different back then... here are some pics...

Obviously a full side on photo would have been better, lol, but the car wasn't at it most photogenic back then lol

should have just started with a coup mate - its the future ;)
-
right thats it. i'm gonna reshell lol
-
Front wings will be a cool mod :thumb:
Although there is a wide track pilbeam suspension setup on ebay at the moment....;)
-
Yup - I've seen lol
Front wings wont be standard, the vertical piece will be pulled out to match the 45degree angle
Might look euro, but thats not the look I'm aiming for
-
I think the front wings look uber cool... you are going to do the rears too tho yeh??
-
Nope, no need - rears don't scrub, well, they do, but they don't cause any problems...
This is with your old 90mms

and I won't be going any lower than this.
As well as this, it'd be hard to do a rear round arch conversion without it looking gash, as from a 4door, the arch is made up from a part of the rear door also.
I'm not wanting to be spending any money on body work, welding, fillering, primering, painting, as it's not that type of car, and its just adding more weight.

use another pair of front wings for the rears ;)
just cut the round bit of..
