What front suspension parts is my FC running?

As title really. I have some pics, so if anyone can tell me that'd be great.
Car is imported from Japan so you can never be 100% of the full spec!


It's got JIC coilovers, and chopped hubs for more lock, anything else look non-standard in this pic?


But what about the arms etc? Are these stock S5 ones? I've no clue tbh

Besides the chopped up steering knuckle and the J-spec dirt/rust, it looks pretty standard to me.

The car competed in D1SL with some success and didn't break the cut n welded knuckles so I'm 99% sure it won't be happening any time soon!

Thanks for the info
