Yeh they are a bit hard on the pocket :/
I'm going to try and save the original bushes when I press them to save buying new ones when I get the arms. Il see how these do, I would have thought they will be fine for a bit of laning, but when you start flexing it omits extent they might cause problems.
I would be interested to see how they come out if you do decide to make your own, keep me updated! :)

I've a question to ask about the lift. Those of you running a three inch lift, do you run prop spacers, if so how big? Cheers guys

Got my lift kit fitted today, it's a fairly straight forward task if anyone is thinking of doing it themselves that hasn't done one before, only thing that gave me problems were the brake lines as the pipe started twisting but I got round it.

I underestimated how much of a difference the lift would make, however I assume it will settle after some use. I had to remove the front guard as it hit the anti roll bar, I'm going to cut it about to stop it scrubbing, but in the future might just take the bar off, I'm still undecided.

Should I fit a panhard rod extension on the rear? Is a prop spacer needed?









She's coming along nicely now, just need to do a bit of welding, cc bushes, then tax and it's ready to go for now.

My wheels look to small for the car though, so the next buy will be a set of modulars for my mud tyres :)
