My reasoning is Don’t fix wot ain’t broke.
If it breaks then I’ll fix it. If you noticed I fixed everything that’s a nightmare with Body on.
You can play on the 4 corners easily so I’ll go for new ones just so they are better than yours hehe
What front drop links are you using.
I have Racetech proper ones rofl ,,,,,,, and new rubbers thumbup

Nice Fab work.
Looking good.
Are you going for PC covering.

With those nice sleeves and joins you’ll hardly notice it’s had riggers replaced.

I just enjoy the fact I recognise all those brackets which a couple of years ago would have looked like a jigsaw to me. I’m weirdly looking forward to seeing those all coated up.

Nice job all round.
That’s a very bespoke colour on those there rockers. Very posh thumbup

Red brake runner grease will help you assemble that lot, fit dust boot to lower part of piston whilst engaging the raised lip on boot into caliper body grooved recess then slowly ease piston into bore , don't force otherwise dust boot damage is certain if it jams pull out and start again observing that boot to groove seating is 360 degree sound , easier done that described sadly ,
Got the grease
All way grateful for the top tips
