Thanks, :)

Let me dig Shaine's post on what mods he did to the stock rear sway bar mounts to use them with the Whiteline's bar.

Just as an FYI. If you have a Version R, the poly front sway bar bushes don't fit.

Rears also sit a bit loose.

Has anyone fitted a Cusco lower front strut brace? I've seen the Whiteline one, but the fixings are slightly different in design.

You mean sway bars? NOT ultra racing.

Not Ultra Racing, Cusco.

Sway bar = anti-roll bar in the UK (but not this)

I'm specifically referring to the lower front strut brace. I have a the standard GPvR upper front and rear braces and a rear lower strut brace. I've been offered a lower front strut brace but the seller states the fittings are missing. Without seeing one fitted, I have no idea of the fittings required in terms of where they go and what they are.
