Below is a picture of it the oem parts. I went overkill on the bearings but I wanted the height right...

However, a mate of mine was able to use just the rs4 set with the standoff inverted and it worked out well too, although I do recall him saying he had to shorten the larger shims to make it butt up against his top deck nicely, but it wasn't a major mod. I will ask him to send me a photo of it to show you as it will save you 20 dollars =)

edit.... Added the pictures of my friends set up using JUST the rs4 parts. As you can see he has chopped into his topdeck to accommodate the larger stand offs and shaved the lower shim shorter. I added pics of OEM and with the alloy parts too.
I found one of those S1 steering kits on eBay. Is the RS4 steering assembly required for the S2 steering set to be installed or will they work independently of each other? Just trying to see if I can wait on one or if I'll have to buy them together.
