I take it your changing bushes as well Steve?
If so the bushes will probably have to be heated out so there is no time frame on it.

surely if your changing anti-roll bars its best to change the bushes as well?

yes you do.......they come with it if its a TRD kit..they just pop of and on
however the TTE ones dont come with different bushes as the bars are not much thicker, however there density is greater
so you refit the std bushes with the TTE bars

Very easy to fit.
they impreove stability, and cornering by reducing Body roll through corners

Sorry for the late reply guy's...
Been working on my Project.
I got the kit from TDi Chris... So I paid the prices as on their web site. FARGO collected them for me and i met him up yesterday so no delivery charge.
I did order the bushes too, But have yet to arrive. As soon as I get these I will pop to my Mechanic and have them fitted..

I'm tyring to get them directly from TTE if possible

Nov 23 2003, 01:30 PM
I thought that too Chris..
But then thought about the P+P
Tax.. Stamp duty etc.. whatever else..
So I went for the easier option.

can you not order these from lexus/toyota

there should be no tax if ordering direct from TTE other than the german tax @16%
postage isnt as high as you would think....
it cost 11€ for the roll cage to be delivered

...from Japan via TTE in Koln...

Does anyone know whether the car needs to be up off all 4 wheels for the install of the anti-roll bars... ?
Or easier on a motorised ramp....

If you are doing the front one then both front wheels should be off the ground, so there is no load on the roll bar, and the other way round for the rear. No reason to have all four wheels off the ground at once.

Going one setting firm this weekend... Just to try it out.
Currently on the middle setting... I hope I know which one is the firm setting, looks to me it's the hole closest to the horizontal long bar bit.
Can someone confirm this pleaze..

Yes mate, the firmest setting is the one closest to the horizontal bar.
