As for living close and getting a better service that's nonsense I live in the northeast and the service they provided when I wanted parts was fantastic .i would guess that there's a good reason why this has been a over sight to them ..

There not a company that would fob of there customers ....I recently spoke to rob for advice on a engine upgrade and instead of filling me up with crap and getting work in for him self , his advice was to just leave it alone as the engine I've got is up to the job .could easily have spent couple of grand with him that day .


Yes as Rajsuzuki just said I am in the North east too and have spent many thousands of pounds with Rob and will continue to do so as his service is second to none. Give him a ring and I am sure he will sort you out.

Firstly I am not winging, just stating fact. This is my build thread and finishing the arms is what I did yesterday. I only said who made the arms when asked. Seeing as I live around 25,000 km away from ORA there is no point asking to have them refinished, replaced or what ever as freight would be cost prohibitive. Also the arms didn't just develop corrosion after they got to Australia and would have been packed that way so I would assume that it is acceptable.

I am very happy with the product and the price just not the finish as it put me a day behind in getting my jimny where I want it

Sorry for being a bit harsh. Misunderstood you previous post. Thought you were local to ORA :)
I'd still try getting in contact with ORA about the bad plating. Perhaps it's general problem with the first batch. But good to know, so others won't have the same problem.

Does any know of a fitting guide for the 4" kit? There are a few bits that I can't work out where they go.

I couldn't find a bit of pipe to use as a press tool so ended up making a proper tool



Got all the bushes done and hopefully will have it on its new rubber tomorrow.

I worked it out Joel.

Can't decide if I should put the sway bar back on so will leave it off and try and find some longer links for it.

It is going to have a lot of wheel travel, can't wait to drive it
