is that those ebay brake systems that the boosted guys are using? they have all come back with positive comments. one had been issued the wrong uprights and the company paid for new ball joints fitted to the correct uprights and postage for the old and new uprights..

Great job so far!

The AU apparently used some of the EF/EL rear floorpan so theoretically the IRS should be close to a bolt-up fitment. Almost. :)

I'm keen to see how easy an engineer's approval is to get on this.

Mike


It is almost a bolt up jobbie...need to change 1 panel under the car, modify the sway bar brackets, and install rear mounts, modify shock towers, replace 1 tank strap(althou dave wont as he is not using the petrol tank), remove spaceer from front mounts so IRS cradle fits in. there is a little washer welded in there that has to be removed.

My car has finally been engineered with the AU IRS and AU front end stuff and no dramas, was pleasently suprised at how easy it was...
