Hey, those look identical to mines... maybe it's TA-Technik I have too... will check it out.

Remember also to fit shorter drop links if your dropping the front a lot, or you'll find the ARB rubs off the driveshaft.

the reason that you need to get shortened drop links mate are because the standard ones are to long and when you deck it then it is likely that they will knock against your driveshafts.
if im right which i think i am the droplink is what connects the anti roll bar to the suspension.

Cool didnt quiet understand what they were for so is that only with the vmaxx kit that shorter drop links are required or with any coilover kit?

JESUS!!!

what a job!

hit a major problem along the way with this kit!

the top mount on the front coilovers wasnt big enough to fit over the internal shaft (see pic) and had to be bored out about 2mm all round got there in the end but it was a pig of a job!
so beware your gonna need a grinding stone to bore it out!

anyway got there in the end with some serious slammage!

ARB and driveshafts have miles of clearance gave it a boot about and no knocking and full left and right full lock :p
