Bro Dan, thanks alot you are right he can really do anything WTF...lol.
anyway not like anyone is using UR here but if you are just so you know the triangle piece couldnt go into my car because the exhaust well was alot narrower so one of the edges couldnt reach the well. apparently "pre-facelift" has a wider well and therefore it should fit. so its up for sale if anyone wants it.

So what stuff you're installing & how much did he charge you?
Just went and installed the GT-Wagon and the UR bars thats all. I asked him how much should I lower and he said he will decide for me wtf?? SO yeah the pic below is how much he lowered. Bro, if come out of Wilson parking have to use little lonsdale exit, Lonsdale exit will scrap like f.
anyway comfort wise surprisingly still quite alright not as rough and bumpy as i thought, maybe b/c i'm still on stock wheels (haven't had feedback from rear passengers yet). Handling and cornering is 520x more confident now. Just whack it, don't need to worry if can finish the turn or not. Whole car quite stiff maybe because of the bars too.
He said my rear damper is 26lvl adjustable and he put it on 15, but I check online it says its only 16lvl so yeah alittle confusing there.
And also I don't know why he negative camber for me, I told him I wanted straight. He said something about coming back to correct when I have my rims (hard to understand him) or somewhere along those lines.
anyway here are some crap as hell pics taken from my BB. And we're expecting some stupid weather this weekend so no chance of taking day shots.
all in all for a virgin car, I'm quite satisfied.

How many UR bars were installed? You need to do alignment after this and you can ask them to adjust the camber back to -1. Bear in mind that you need to take of the rear suspension if you need to adjust the damper, the front one is ok. Nice height or maybe need to lower it a bit more :p becareful that lower arm bar might scrapped on speed hump.
I installed 6/7 of them. The triangle pair can't fit facelift car. Apparently pre-facelift can use them as they got wider exhaust well. Any bro's driving pre-facelift can confirm this please?
Or maybe it's just designed for absolute model which have a bigger well to hold the resonator as per Bro Evo's exhaust mod post.
the front two bars really sticks out and its already scraping some humps.
Bro I think, its for the Absolute model as the pics from UR is of an Absolute model. Maybe UR didn't make on for the other varients.
Your front lower arm bars are really low, either you will have to rasie the car higher or live with it as I have and end up with this hahaha

As for the camber alignment, are you going to change rims any time soon? If not I would suggest getting a proper wheel and camber alignment. you will find that your car will handle better. I guess the shop that installed your parts don't want to do the adjustments now as they will have to redo it again when you change to the rims of your choice.
As for my exhaust.... I have swaped out the resonator with 2 hot dogs to give me more ground clearance

yeah gonna drive around a few more days then go and do the alignment at some standard tyre shops.

nice job on the hotdogs, looks very clean. Any difference to sound compared to ori resonator?
the sound is a bit more solid but slightly softer, it used to be abit raspy.
That rear camber is quite a bit... I think the faster u get your alignment done, the better.
finally and really nicely done!! my advice is raise the car a bit as yr front bars will be "bye bye" for a short period of time. not sure the material on UR bars, you do not want anything happen to yr chassis if it hit as Cusco is by aluminum alloy soft enough to just break before affecting the chassis. another thing is the rear camber just too much and will get more once the spring settle a little bit after driving around.
