Herewith my S2K to get the rust treatment, suprisingly there are little rust start creeping between the seam at the back panel but now is all grinded out (as you can see from the siver part)and painted with anti rust primer.

Then will respray the back part and then waxoyl it!!!

The Ohlins DFV shouldn't be too insanely expensive versus the other coilover kits available (not that cheap either) the reviews for other cars on the same kits have been very good but you can only trust good feedback from someone that's tried them - looking forward to your feedback

On a par with the Nitrons. The Bilsteins are well proven as well!

Don't forget the braces all round

Should turn out good this project.

I was also told that about the Spoon calipers, I think AP's will be fine as long as you upgrade the rears as well.

Update, after closer insepction when i doing the waxoyl today, i found that i already have spoon front and rear lower braces!!! duhhh.......no wonder my car feels so stable around corner.......

So i had decided to get the Tein Super Racing damper as it had the benefit of using EDFC and external reservoir for the rebound adjustment.Also is around the same price as the bilstein.....so will update more later.

Where's your garage?

It looks like you are stripping the car at the drop off point at London Heathrow

Good luck with the project, car looks
