(With thanks to Firefox http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif )

1) Make sure the front wheels are off the ground.

2) Redo geometry settings (good time for Prodrive settings if not already done http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif ).

3) Make sure it's an STi Carbon Fibre one http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif

& what, pray, have you got on your car Dogbreath?

Not that you'd actually need it of course http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif

Still trying to flog that rear wagon one?

Then buy a rear one and start again!! http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif

And then buy a proper ally STi one because its signifcantly more rigid than the multi-peice construction inferior carbon fibre one http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif

Thanks Puff,
Anyone know of someone in W Yorks who can do
the geom settings. My dealer went suddenly
deaf when asked http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/frown.gif

Link Tyres in Mirfield, (between Dewsbury and Huddersfield) do full geometry changes.

If you find any others let me know...

Trying to flog it...nah...I have it reserved for you, so that we can all be spared the posts when you do want one!!!!! http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif

Er, just a quick question with regards to fitting procedure, if the front wheels are to be off the ground, what happens when you undo the three bolts securing the damper to the chassis to get the brace on??? Mind your feet!

I think dog face means front wheels might need to be off the ground when REFITTING and trying to get the holes on the brace to line up with those on the turrets - by causing the camber to change so the tops are further in...know what i mean?

Fortunately for Puff it wouldnt matter if his wheels hit the ground as they are all kerbed anyhow http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif

Keep it up Puff http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif
