Suspension was picked up last weekend. then shipped from melb to bris. arrived today as well.
Will be 30mm drop all around with bilstein B8's as after driving my car around melbourne with 50mm drop on the front its just too low to go anywhere.

Engine is back in the car.

Decided to keep original gearbox as I don't have the time to open and inspect the 4.17fd box.

Here a quick pic of the engine before it went back on the subframe. (a few spares in the background 3 engines and 2 gearboxes)
