Taking the bolt out wont matter too much, just try and make sure the wishbone doesnt move too much. And you can fit them, just dont go over any speedbumps

Yeah, the twin-tube ones have more ground clearance, the early ones were lighter for the same stiffness, but a fair chunk lower.
Custom roll cages/shiny suspension bits/general fabrication work undertaken, PM me.
Top engine mount repair/reinforcement/chocking for cracked chassis and high powered cars, drive in, drive out, 2 hour turnaround.

Have to say anyone thinking of getting a ripp brace DO IT!!!! That and the omp top one has made such a difference don't bother with the E tech top brace as its made of cheese ha ha, powering hard out of the lower gear corners having the bottom one has virtually eliminated the inside wheel lighting up, feels so much more sure footed, big up to ripp for it from me

Just sold the ones I had ready, but I can weld a couple more up tommorow night possibly. £50 for a bare metal one.

Don't do anything for the rear yet (there's a whacking great steel beam underneath already!)

^^^ errr? Lol

Ripp, have you looked at manufacturing and selling hybrid arbs? I reckon there would be a fair market for them if you could knock them out at a competitive price. Maybe bigger tbs too? 40mm? Lol!

It's a metal tube and you can put a wheel on either end.
