OK heres the deal

Decided to go and upgrade my Front swaybar on my EK1

Only to realise that i dont actually HAVE a swaybar on my EK1 (explains the understeer)

So anyhoo

Bought a Whiteline Front Swaybar (BHF52)
Only to open the box and find that there is the bar and nothing else. When i got the rear bar 1/2 the bolts were missing so this didn't surprise me.

Now the question I have is HOW THE FRUCK DOES THIS THING FIT????

Ive tried finding instructions on the net and various forums but nothing.

So if anyone has got ANY information on fitting these ruddy things it would be appreciated.

So far ive been told that i need to
1. Replace the LCA's for ones from a VTI-r Type R
2. Spend ANOTHER $200 on a mounting kit from whiteline
3. Give up and cry
4. Put up with the understeer
5. Curse, Scream and Rant then get someone else to fit it :)

HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLP!!!

you got the wrong part.
you need the bhf56
bhf52 is for ek's with oem front swaybar.

Thanks for that guys

When i emailed cartorque they said to get the 52

So not thinking thats what i ordered.

Have just rang them and told them the issue and they have agreed to exchange for the 56 no questions asked. Just have to wait till Thursday next week for delivery.

So fingers crossed that should fix the issue of it fitting.
