"It works!".... They sound surprised

So that bears out my theory they built this kit because their struts are rubbish.

Golly- tyre clearance looks tight at the upright. I wonder if you have to use the "recommended" incorrect backspace rims to clear the hektik blueness?

That tire is crazy close.
And u can see how shit the tie rod system is in the vit. It flops all over the place.
I wish someone would just build a decent length inverted mono tube strut for the vit and everything would be fine. Twin tube struts have no place on a offroad car. The pissy little shaft cant handle the lateral forces at full extension.

Interesting how they've left the flexible brake hose flopping around and rubbing on the suspension!

Why not paint your standard arms blue? It would look awesome too and probably work just as well.

Gday Steve I think it was u that originaly told me that vit has problem with cracking around strut tower especially with my extra weight issue these seem to be adding a lot of steel surrounding the tower and also a lot easier for me to ad a strut brace as motor fair bit higher now

So add a strut brace. All that extra steel isn't taking any load off the weak connection between the chassis and the strut tower.
