do a search for the ultra racing website - I bought mine and the other braces they make from the site direct and it worked out cheaper than ebay.

as you can see it fit's fine. i find the bracing to the radiator support panel useless and not a good idea. i think like the jic and carbing bars they should have braced front control arm to castor rod arm instead.

anyway the car they used for test fit must have been in an accident as my car has never had a hit and it took some "adjusting" for this item to fit (comes std with elongated holes but needed more work then that)

also if you have a/c it removes the ability of the lower support brackets to fit and requires longer bolts. (screws in there for test fitment only)

good points? it fits with all std covers etc.

You can also purchase this from http://www.tokyo-express.co.uk/, I had a quote from them back in the summer.

I've never used them though, so cannot comment on what their service is like.

He said...

So I'm guessing they are bolts now.

TBH I didnt think it was to bad to fit mine - yes I had to use some longer bolts at the front as already mentioned and I did have to do a very small amount of adjustment with a file to get it to fit BUT well within most peoples capabilaty I think - have a go at fitting it - just be paitent !
