Keep posting buddy as I'm also interested. This will clear some room for turbo setup as well

No mate . thats for the centre bar to mount to but I suppose you could fabricate some sort of bracket to make a front mount bolt to there

Thanks for the pics SI. I think I am just going to bite the bullet and get a new set of mounts too.


Is the traction bar strong enough to jack the car up?
