Nearly finished the 2 Hole mod, just want to paint it so it looks more genuine lol.

I've got a bit of a problem though, i have bought the genuine VZ Strut Brace, but the bitch will not fit on. I jacked the front of the car, and still wouldn't fit.

Has anyone else had this problem?

Mine didn't sit first and then I gave it a jiggle and it slotted straight on. Didn't need jacking at all. Have't heard of this problem as yet, it should slot straight on.

something black
your supposed to have the wheels off the ground when you fit them so the strut towers relax.

make sure you check the bolts are still tight after a couple of drives.

When the car's on the ground the hole's on the brace are probably a good inch off... and when its jacked up it was a bit closer, but still bout 10mm off.

Im trying it on a mates VZ this afternoon, so we will see how she fits on his.

We were able to easily fit the brace on my mate's vz today... so that makes me wonder, what the hell is wrong with my car lol?

Nice ride dude, very nice...

How do you find the Pedders coilovers ?? I am tossing up between them and Teins but would like some feedback on how they handle potholes and bumps more than anything else.

Did ya get your strut brace on eventually ??

Cheers,
Trev...
