Cheers, Im going to use the stock bearing that I have bud. Spoke to an RS expert today, and he although there are two models of bearing, he thinks it will be okay. Nobody seems to know the exact differences between the two units. Another source ran the registration from a focus rs, and came back with an LUK as a direct fir throughout the range.  Now, I just need to track down the adapter for the fluid inlet. thanks for your help. ! |

Paul When you said the wife had put a block on you buying my wheels i think your doing well to get to page 12 of your build and she's still living with you!!, if your wanting some cheap rubber for those 17" rims iv'e a couple of toyo TR1s with i would estimate at least 2k miles left on them at £30 for the pair there 215/45/17 so they would go on the rear.
regards John.

Looks nice, but how hard will that be to touch up any scratches or dinks when the
car is on the road?.
