Darryl's Clubman

Well the butterfly brace is on and most of the suspension on the car is now finished, just waiting on the adjustable end links for the sway bar but its usable.

Haven't dríven it that far yet as I have to do a wheel alignment to dial out the massive toe out its now wearing, but have worked out the factory Bilstein/spring combo are really badly matched, the replacement Koni race/Eibach springs that I'm running are so much better both in the handling and ride department. Completely transformed the car.

Still working out ride heights and my new camber/castor gauge should be here this week so can do a setup at least. But its coming together well, dying to get it on a track to do some sorting now....

No pics at this point as it was late last night when I'd finished but looks far less of an offroader now

She's nearly together, all the suspension is now on and apart from cornerweighting is setup. Brake pads are all fitted and bedded in :roll:

According to the UPS tracking my harness is due early this week. Roll on Eastern Creek next weekend

Very happy with how its all turning out

I think your ride height is perfect.
Looks damn tough from the back, nice rims & offset...and those 225 hmmm

I got to agree, that is one nice looking Clubman

Very nice, congrats. My car is very similar, just a little more race orientated but still registered.

I'm also waiting on some Tein flex coilovers and adjustable sway bar links from 949 racing.

Let us know how you go on the track.

Paul.

That looks really good, although I prefer the 15x8's without the centre caps on.

Where did you get the front spoiler from?

I wouldn't mind one to, group buy maybe Cal?

Thanks everyone, front spoiler is just the Mazda add on that I picked up from the states - Theres also a splitter to add once it arrives.

My Schroth 6 point harness was also delivered first thing this morning too

amazing offset on those 6ULs!

One of the neatest clubmans I've seen!

Starting to get this sorted now with a couple of spring changes and the like.
