Lateral links & Trailing arms.... Show me yours :)
I've not touched the car in quite a while but I do fancy giving these items a little spruce up for this season so what have we got?
OEM, upgraded, referbed or repainted show me yours
For those that don't know the car.

I've a Whiteline arb already fitted but that also needs to come off for a freshen up as the paint has no thickness or longevity at all.
Looks like your laterals and trailing arms have been repainted to look oem, which is an option I'll be considering

Ryan you want to mount the arb collar slightly closer to the mount, you dont want that much movement

I bought the car when I lived in the North East and it was driven near the coast so the salt air took it's toll. I'm slowly (very slowly) getting around to cleaning it all up

Mine is not that bad TBH but I'm looking to freshen things up a little before it all starts to get a bit scabby.

Had whiteline lateral arms fitted and whiteline trailing arm bushes fitted both side and its made quite a difference, ordered from Alyn as usual
But the biggest difference came from the whiteline rear diff support outrigger bushes had to soften the suspension off a couple of clicks to compensate for the extra stiffness
