I,ve been busy with the B the last few days and just adding to the list of mods to be done.
I have now purchased the Bilstien sports shocks with eibach springs from Henk which were originally mad matts, i have repainted the springs blue and they look great. i,ll post up some pics when i get a chance.
I also purchased from Henk (barchetta parts.com) some new style brake calipers which are bigger than my own and also given them a good clean and paint. Pics to follow:

Hello! People,
Finally got the time to spend on the B and get the new shocks and calipers on. I havent driven her much today but the drive home and she feels and handles so much better, more taught and precise and the brakes work well too. I post up some pics for you all tommorow.

The B is great, i,m really happy with the Bilstiens, the drive and feel is just right, not to stiff, so no bouncing up and down on the seat, feels smooth on the straight and the positiveness of cornering is superp.
Heres some b4 and after pic's.

Had the B at a garage this morning to have the tracking and alignment done and discovered that one of my wheels has been buckled. I can remember that last weekend i fell into a crater sized pot hole with an extremme loud bang which must have caused this. Also my right side camber is out and even with my new camber bolts at max, the correct camber is still not correct.
This could be due to a bent hub but I,ve been told by the mechanic that my wheel can be fixed and that he can rectify the camber alignment by opening/widening or rimming the top hole of the strut so as to allow more give. Its booked in for monday morning.
What would be your thoughts to widening this top hole, should i be concerened. ?

I'd be more tempted to find which suspension component had been damaged - i.e. bent strut/arm and replace that.
