IDF drop plates
« on: 18 September 2013, 18:49 »
Has anyone fitted a set of these? My ones came today after a months wait and looking to see if there's any fitting problems or is it as straight forward as they say.

are these the plates to centre the rear wheels when low?

never fitted the but the only problem I could see is rusted bolts being a b!tch to get off...

well iirc you have to drop the rear beam by undoing the bolt through the bush, when I replaced the bushes in mine they were a bit of a b!tch to get out, then the bolts that go through the mount id imagine that they could be a bit of a b!tch to get out...

but I could have got the complete wrong end of the stick as to how these work...

Ah right panic over, My rear beams been off the car for a year now lol


But I think your on about the ones ECS make that move the rear beam and need to be bolted up between the rear bush bracket and the car body. These ones bolt up to the rear beam where axle stub goes. Only thing I can find on the net about fitting is new bearings might be needed.
