Picked up the modified lower suspension arms from X-Ray Laboratories yesterday. Good news is that they passed crack testing with flying colours. A few pictures showing the final product attached.

Hi Vintage, on top of the drop that I get from the new stubs I plan to squeeze some extra drop by fitting modified springs, so I'm not sure at this stage what my camber will end up being. The goal is to reach a balance between ideal ride height, good handling and minimal tyre wear.
