just ordered a set & was wondering if anybody had fitted them themselves?
is it a hard job or quite easy?
or should i get a good garage to do them
thanks for any feedback

I bought a set - and got mike (Ex-GTIR) to fit, i'm sure he'll tell you what a nightmare it was!!!

They're all the wrong sizes, Mike spent ages cutting them all down to the right sizes etc, they were a nightmare to fit!!

I bet you any garage you take them to will tell you they're the wrong bushes!

I'd say don't bother inless you have air tools and a ramp, Mine where allready done when i got the car but I'm stripping the underside of the car
at the moment to rust treat and paint it so I'm haveing take it all apart
again and it's hard work mate :cry: .

dude.....i hope you are a wel built guy....cause i couldnt do ANY of these bolts on my own (im a 140lb/60kg nerd) but my friend who is quite strong needed a 4ft long breaker bar to get those off. Get air tools.

You will also need a hydraulic press.

See the whiteline guides i put up in the How To section.

hmmm :?
i spoke to Powerflex today after these comments made me think :?:
my mechanic mate (he's not a robot really) is fitting them on Saturday
& i asked the Powerflex dude
if he had heard of any probs with regards to fitting these suckers
he replied no, he hasn't heard of any troubles :?

So..i said that there may be trouble with fitting them &
if my geeza does have any trouble fitting a product that is made for our cars then i am not gonna pay for the work involved to get em on.
i would pass the bill on to them
he replied no worries?
lets wait & see
