Brembo front discs and rear lower control arms. Does anyone know how much labour hours will be needed to replace both lower control arms?

Can't help with the labour but don't forget to replace the front pads and wear indicators. You should go for Textar pads too, or your front brakes will squeal like a pig, ask me how I know :oops:

Thanks, I was thinking they might but thought do I just give it a go as the pads are so good. Not a huge extra outlay so think I will just buy new.

I had a good amount of meat on my old pads, see pic, but the old ones will have bedded in to the old discs so it's best to change the pads and wear indicators at the same time. I would also check the rear discs. I changed both front and back discs at the same time and fitted Brembo too. I fitted Brembo rear pads which were fine it was just the front Brembo ones that I had to change for Textar. At the time I thought Brembo and Textar were the same but not so, although they looked the same on the suppliers web site :x

ATB :)

Looking fresh Roon, question on your de cat pipes, are you using a spacer on the O2 sensor?
Click to expand...
Thanks amigo.. 8)

Not using spacer, no..
 
andyobro said:
No engine light issues? I had read that you need a spacer to move the sensor away from the air flow to kind of fool the sensor.
Click to expand...
Aha, no, Hayward & Scott incorporated one into the design of the X Pipe; there is an extended section that the Lambda Sensor threads into..
