I haven't posted here for ages, but I am finally getting around to posting some pics of the suspension rebuild that was done on my RS2 last year. I know pics are always popular here.
For the rebuild I specified the original Bilstein shocks and although they had to be sent back to Bilstein as the back end was sitting too high, I am delighted with the handling on this car. I think the combination of both the Bilsteins and going back to OEM bushes has improved both the handling and made the suspension much more compliant over rough surfaces.
Here is a link to some rebuild pics: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B7...kVpZVRvZWI4M0U
And another pic below at the old Reims Circuit on my way over to the Swiss and and Austrian Alps as part the GRRC Grand Tour in Europe. It's still an awesome car and kept up with all sorts of modern machinery including Ferraris and Porsches. It only shows it's age around the narrow hair pins when she is off boost, but that was part of the fun!
