It's been a while for an update but new parts incoming.. 
I seen this set of custom ordered b16s on Facebook and the price he was asking it was silly not to I love my b14 so the 16s must be a win so if anybody is after some b14s mine will be up soon.

Just spent an hour freeing off all the threads and removing top mounts ready for the pms ones when I get mine off also giving it a bit of tlc will be putting a special anti corrosion on them this time 
Well almost ruind Christmas the other day. Started fitting my new coilovers.
Rears came off real easily however they didn't come with top bolts so I had to buy some but also the top mounts used to have 8mm hold and the new ones where 10mm so had to drill the top mounts out as they where powerflex ones
Fronts where going so well..
The other day when I started to clean them off when I wound one of the top bolts off it was a bit "funny" didn't think nothing of it however.
Got no pictures as I was so mad my new top mount sleeve but didn't want to go on properly. Long story short I think the threads where a bit fucked as I had to get a tap in the sleeve nut and a dye on the threads but all back together now

So measured all up and it should be about 7mm higher on the back and 5mm on the front.
Only been round the block and today not very far but seams softer than b14 (I've got it on it's softest setting) but v nice when I get back to work ill slowly adjust it to b14 spec then know where to start from I've got 10 clicks but tbf 2/3 will probably be where to start.
But it does feel nice where they are.. (I must be etting old lol)
Done some more driving in the car the last few weeks. Found setting no6 is the one to drive with and 8-10 is where it will be on track but will do some more testing when I can. Also intrestingly Phoenix motorsports have posted they are fitting a set to a test car soon so I might have a pre pre production set.. Cool
