#98670 I do, only a rear one though, whiteline.

You gotta cut the rear trim to fit it though

Image

You got provisions for ARBs? I can provide you with a whiteline 20mm adjustable in April if you want as well :P Come with mounting hardware, lower tie bar etc Makes a huge difference to handling. Unfortunately the only spare rear arms I've got have half a bolt stuck in them. Not that it matters as the bushes are fried as well

#98675 I'm selling it on in Summer and I'm taking as many aftermarket parts off it as I can to make it appeal to more people. Probably still have difficulty shifting it but we'll see what happens.

I'll drop you a PM in a sec with a price and stuff ;)

#98679 Nah it's a DX I've just acquired lots of parts from VTi's and stuff in my attempts to make it better. Can't be bothered anymore so I'm selling up and buying something rear wheel drive, and maybe with a turbo hehe

Here's a provisional list, may have more to get rid of. Most if it won't come off til April when I'm back home for Easter though.

20mm Whiteline rear anti roll bar + heavy duty mounts and lower tie bar
Standard VTi front anti roll bar (22mm) + poly bushes (the chassis bushes are 21mm but they still fit)
Another VTi front anti roll bar with standard bushes and fittings
Standard VTi rear anti roll bar (18mm iirc) with all bushes and fittings
VTi rear trailing arms with brand new EBC discs and black predator pads
VTi handbrake cables
Goodridge braided hoses
VTi front LCAs
Front camber arms - these look like skunk2 items but I don't think they are I got them off the guy I bought the rest of my VTi suspension bits from
B16 passenger driveshaft + halfshaft
Koni sport suspension kit
Whiteline rear strut brace

I think that's everything :P
