fitting RARB

[nia]

i've read through the PDF given in the how to section on fitting a rarb, it talks about removing wheels, springs etc etc.. sounds like a big job..

anyone done a DIY job? and is it relatively painless to do.?

i was under the impression you just need to raise the backside, drill a couple of holes and bolt things in, didn't realise you need to remove springs and such..

easy 2 x holes to drill rest is bolt on off.

You dont need to remove springs at all. Just reverse the car onto some ramps. And from there it is very easy. Drilling the holes is very easy too, the metal is so thin that it only takes half a sec to drill through

cool.. so i don't need to remove the wheels either.? its litterally raising the backside, drilling and bolt on.?

No need to remove wheels and yep its as easy as that. Once you've done it you'll think bloody hell, i could take it off and do it again in 5 minutes
