quote: It's a piece of p*ss. Ignore half these num nuts yep i gotta agree... i'm no mechanic but i did it easy as you like... i used 5mm longer bolts due to thickness of the brace... like has already been said, keep her on level ground... and she'll be top... seemed to make a fair difference in tighter corners... better traction and feel... worth the money that's for sure... anyway... let us all know how it goes!! ian ________________________________________ ...living the dream... |

its not quite as straight foward as that youve got to remember to adjust the length to stiffen it up once bolted down to put tension on the mounts. |

Right ummm, I'm trying to work out how best to do this :p apparently easy.Use a spanner or socket to remove? Do I need to get the car off the ground at all to take some tension off the bolts? Or will it come straight off? |
