    I had high hopes of doing loads this weekend, but I've torn my rotator cuff again and can't move my right arm, so had to enlist the help of my nephew.

    How to: RC lift install help? 97 UK spec

    So, finally getting around to installing the RC lift on my UK 97 Ran into a slight issue when mounting the rear torsion bar brackets. Mine has earlier style torsion bar damper and this uses later style. Would you lop off the metal that's getting in the way? Si
