So I got some new fat sticky rubber today, Federal 595 RS-R's 235 40 17's, raised the front a little bit to accommodate
the wideness of the tyre and run less camber. Yesterday arvo after work got stuck into raising the front and adjusting
the preload on the spring. Noticed something wasnt quite right with the needle roller bearing on the RHF strut.

Disassembled both front struts, removed the needle roller bearings and reassembled the front struts, making all the
preload and distance between locking collars the same for my new front height.

NEW Problem! While raising my front about half an inch found out my front end links would no longer fit as they were
too long So while the car was getting new tyres and wheel alignment I got some new ones where I could cut them
to length and whack them in when I got home. Pro while no front swaybar attached, handling felt a little better,
Con while front swaybar not attached, loud noises while going over bumps haha
