Arrrggghhhh bumholes :( sorry dude.
This isn't the first one that's gone on the forum either. Reckon a group buy for replacements might be in the offing?

Fortunately I had Tanabe Sustec uprated ARBS in the shed I bought a while back

I was supposed to be at the trackday for 9am. It was an hours drive away.
Just didn't think I was going to be able to get them fitted.
Luckily I got down to my the garage down the road from me that my mate works at for 8.30am just as they were opening and asked if they had time to squeeze me in first thing. He did 8-)

Sorry about the crappy phone pics. Was in a bit of a rush!

Only fitted the rear brace as I was in a rush. Will fit the front one soon.

Both off. With fresh polybushes and droplinks.

Tanabe Fitted

Got it done in just over 30mins 8-)

OFF TO TRACK!

Yeah mate, first time ever out on track, suprised how well it handled on old stock shocks and lowering springs.
Think I need some practice though as once I got used to the track I literally just gave it beans :lol:
