Is this easy to do?

Are all the fixings already there on the chassis etc - or will i need to do some welding?

Also - whats the best anti-roll bar and bushes to use..?

:lol:

You mean the rear anti-roll bar ?

The brackets are already there on the chassis, you'll need:

Anti roll bar (i used a 325i bar)
2 bushes (I used standard items)
2 mounting brackets with bolts
2 drop links
2 trailing arm/droplink brackets with bolts.

I got all the bits from a scrappy for Ԛ£10 and fitted new bushes and drop links at a cost of Ԛ£40.

It is a bit of a squeeze to get the bar in but the results are well worth it :D

Cheers,
