Nice progress there mate.. I bet it's driving nice with the new bushes and suspension bits. It's sitting nice. 

 

Interior bits and bobs sounds interesting

Cheers mate, yeah so far its a blast, so flat and planted. I haven't had a chance to take it for a proper drive yet though. Need to get the Alignment sorted, so pondering getting some adjustable camber/toe arms for the rear first.

Fitment looks bang on - what spec is the wheels/tyres? I've not rolled mine and visually it looks OK but I've not driven it in anger yet so I may find out that I need to, we'll see

 

I will eventually polybush all of mine, definitely need to invest in a press before I do. Getting just the 4x ARB bushes in with a vice was frustrating enough!

 

Did you modify the factory seat bracket? I've been looking at the "Planted Technology" brackets for an older accord that seem to line up with the bolt holes for the MB, but i've not pulled the trigger yet. Unfortunately my passenger seat ended up on a bonfire (don't ask) so that rail is a bit worse for wear.  

Thank you mate, they're 15" 7J ET35, 195 50 15. 

I had issues at the front with this height when I had 15 6J ET45 as it rubbed the inner arches. So far no rubbing but I haven't been pushing it.  It used to rub slow speed stuff when turning and bumps. I should have room to lower the rear also.

 

Yeah I kinda loathe spending the money on the press buts its been invaluable. I remember doing one of the front arm bushes and thinking there's no way in hell I would've been able to do it any other way haha. Should pay for itself the first wheel bearing job.

 

Yes mate, I did a quick write up of what I did here

 

Ill grab some more photos soon to explain it better. Im intrigued about the bonfire hahaha
