A bit of progress from the last week and a bit...
Managed to get the rear beam lowered, ended up having to knock the trailing arm and torsion bar out of the beam each side, and then then knock the bar out of that. Bit of a faff but at least it's done now, and it was rebuilt with 20mm bars so it more closely matched to the eibachs at the front.

The rear is a bit lower than I would like, I think its gone down about 35mm, so at some stage I'll raise it up a bit. Still I'm fairly happy with how it's turned out.
I also fitted some OEM tweeters in the wing mirror covers. I didn't have any spare connectors to fit them so the wire is soldered directly to the tweeter and the speaker, and they're just wired in parallel to the woofers as I've read that this is how Peugeot did it from the factory where fitted. In any case, it's made a decent improvement to the clarity of music so I'm pleased.

And fitted

If anyone is interested:
Tweeters - 6562 C7 - £7.78 each
Covers - 9015 P4 (RH), 9015 P5 (LH) - £1.91 each
And finally a picture from the weekend that I quite like, and shows the rack is not for scene points!
