Most people dont fit them due to exhaust clearance, iirc.

Surely that only a issue if you've fitted a big block ?

Im sure it was James (JonLem) who attempted fitment of one of these in the past and said no matter what he tried it wouldnt fit! I could be wrong as it was some time ago. But be wary chaps. ;)

cheers guys

ive seen the one on the bay, and he's only in sheffield and seems to have a few

think you must bolt them to the existing lower arm bolts
