im on par with Dan, i did mine took me 35 mins, used 8m bolts around an inch long BUT i put the bolt through the bottm and the nut on top, found it easer, doesnt look as nice though, make sur you use washers under neith...
Did u use nuts aswell dan? Do u have to jack the car up to get underneath to get a nut on? I was thinkin of some self tapping nuts as i didnt realise u can get a nut on the bolt?
It fits. Just have to make holes for it. I no how it goes on. Jus wanna no the best way to do it
Mark the brace up take it off put it back on re check you markings drill the whole make a pilot 1st then the bigger drill bit check your markings again befor you drill again repeat untill four holes have been made , I used m8 nut and bolt about an inch long just jack the car up befor you drill the hole I have the bolt in the top and the nut underneath
Cheers dan. Wernt sure u cud get a nut underneath. I also have the rear aswell. Is this the same process? M8 nut and bolt? Cheers

i just been looking at your pics, i did my drilling the other end of the big hole under the carpet, als put it a little lower so i didnt have to fit the plastics you have to be spot on with the drill though, is not a wide flat but where i put it, though as i dont have the rear ARB i can say i CAN feel a diffrence, its not huge but deffo less body roll in the car AND the back end ent as looooose about the houuuuuuse
Ah ok mate prob leave mine where it is as the plastic is cut still gunna squeeze a sub under there , think pushchair fits as well lol , glad to hear you think it makes a difference you should get the front and back arbs makes the car totally different
I was thinkin of doin it the same way as dan. Is that easy enuf? What do i have to take out or get round to get the carpet off? Will i have to cut the carpet so it fits round the brace?
Just drop the seats take the rear plastics out it's easy to drill and only a little bit of carpet and plastic needs trimming

if the move it down a little you can get away with the plastics... its alot easyer where dan has his!!! i was worried about the buggy going in, and i will have another one, or a double one to get in there soon...
i want to get the arb's, i bought a set of the uprated bushes for the oem one but didnt realise the effort it will take to fit them so might end up getting them in stead
the other thing im thinking is, is it worth me spending out on them, im never guna get the cash back when it comes to selling, iv got 118K on the clock and its yellow, mostly...
