page 2 i start playing with the sway bar in & out. page 3 i've got the damper fitted, page 5 i remove it, page 7 it's back in & in the forward position attached to the tow point. when it was attached with the bracket on the outside it would hit the aircon piping, when attached to the tow point it'd hit the sway bar. so no sway bar it can attach to the tow point without issue.

Today I have mostly been upgrading the front speakers to 5 and a quarters and when I get time I will do the rear ones to a higher wattage. Banging mate!

Are they bigger than standard?

Is that a proper steering damper?

Some Suzukis and a bunch of motorcycles.

Did you have to cut the whole out bigger or did you use some spacers and did you get the covers back on without any issues?
Cheers

I used a pair of autoleads sa005 spacers which I had to relieve to get the door electric cables past. The speaker baskets I have used are still a bit big for the factory holes with the 005's and ideally an additional 2mm spacer depth would be good however as it is the covers fit back on ok. What I may do this afternoon though is relieve the inside protrusions on the trims so that they are flush just for a little extra clearance. Easy enough if you have some patience.

Actually did this prior to the winch challenge we attended 3 weeks ago. Flo-flex bumpstops from Bits4Vits. Works exactly as it should. Or I believe so. Looking at the bumpstop it seems like the axle's never been that far up
