When did you buy yours anth?
I seemed to get mine when they were revising the design of them

I got it some time last year, pretty sure it was a while after you got yours, but mine still rubs on the lca (or something?) I can hear it groaning. Sometimes I think I should just put the stock suspension + wheels back on, but I love the way it looks

same as mine...
I was told by whiteline in a earlier thread that it was because my car was to low... but when i lifted the car back to stock height with OEM wheels and tyres to clear my defect it still rubbed on the control arm (wishbone, lca, whatever they are called).
So dont give up on wheels and suspension!
I'll give them a buzz at lunch and let you know how i go.

Got Jmac to hook his smoke machine up to the old girl yesterday, fixed some major boost leaks. Still a few more leaks to be fixed on the weekend but it's great to be boosting above 10psi, car feels so much stronger and responsive!

Smoke machine is one of the best tools in my van mate, you will see it in action Saturday, we will iron out those little ones that are left

. Such a simple concept but so effective. Not only does it find boost/air leaks but i have dye in it and it can fine tricky oil leaks for the win
Cheers
Jmac
