Well Guys this Build thread has come to a end. The car should be in the hands of its new owner tomorrow. Sad times but its been fun. Thanks to everyone for there input and help.
I see where your coming from. Why not buy the cheap coilovers and have the car setup just a tad lower than stock height. You will notice the ride is a bit firmer. But not uncomfortable.
I had a similar situation with a couple of headlights. Were supposed to be in perfect working order. Both were broken beyond reasonable use. Contacted eBay VIA dispute procedure and I won my case. Got my refund and didn't have to return the faulty items.
I had changed from the 288mm setup, so only need to change carriers, discs and pads. But you do need a 6mm spaced plate and longer bolts for the carrier.
