Very happy with the install, used the PDF from Quadratec on the grill they sell for $180.

Looks good, I want to do this to keep some more bugs out. Got any more specific info on how you did it and what you sikaflexed the mesh to?

High steer kit delivered $786. Includes rear axle mounted track bar bracket, drag link flip kit, front track bar mount, OME steering dampner, sway bar link extension brackets and front shock relocation kit.

Rear was done 2 weeks ago, that was very easy to install. The front end track bar bracket was very tight and a lot of force was used to get everything to line up.

First impressions driving was spoilt by death wobbles on M1 again at 100km/h , it was so bad had to pull over and clean my undies.

Took it out to hammonds for a checkup/wheel alignment and balance. No more DW.

Cornering I cannot believe the difference:) , but it's still flighty when you hit a bump, but new springs, shocks and front adjustable LCAs should improve this

Also my stock rims rub on the flipped drag link at near full lock.:wall: I will install my old drag link until I get new rims for my stock tyres..

Mac, first up lay the mesh onto the back of the grill and cut it so you have aone cm over lap on both ends. I then folded the over lap at right angles so the mesh hugs the raised section on the inside...http://i317.photobucket.com/albums/m...g?t=1261053445
Then I made up two 4mm rods cut to length with a one cm right angle on the end and then flattened the two ends so can bolt them to the mesh.http://i317.photobucket.com/albums/m...g?t=1261053559
Hold the ends down and drill the holes then fit the little machine screws so you end up like this..http://i317.photobucket.com/albums/m...g?t=1261053602
Then to keep it all secure and stop the mesh from rubbing etc I then put dobs of Sikaflex into the rails until it passed out the mesh...this is going no-where....http://i317.photobucket.com/albums/m...g?t=1261053753

Not pretty but solid and functional and this is the side you see....http://i317.photobucket.com/albums/m...g?t=1261053859

Took about two hours to complete.

Matt.

LCAs so you can increase the caster should improve that flighty feeling heaps.

Yeah Yom, I have ordered some currie LCAs weeks ago and I am still waiting.
