There is a step by step pic by pic installation guide on Rexnet
somewhere, i had it bookmarked but it has gone missing.

It was an excellent guide with little hints.

Is this it? http://www.rexnet.com.au/forum/index...&#entry1282348 I used this one when fitting mine..the front was easy apart from the air con hose. The rear one took me ages as i had to make a few minor adjustments to the holes on either sides of the boot where it goes through to get it to fit...

Yeah that's the guide Prodigy.

I got ones from Rexnet front and rear the same as prodigy
and they are going for $100 a set delivered to Perth.

Good quality too.

i havent seen the GD ultrex kit go on a car, but the GC kit goes on fine... H brace could align a little better through lol, but it goes on there... but for the price, you cant complain can ya! a decent h brace is normally worth around 250 alone!

ultrex is all replica gear, but the production quality is good

cusco would have a R&D dept in comparison, so their gear should be 'engineered' to fit. whether it does or not is a different story.... lol

cusco is also a big name in the industry, so you're paying for the bling!

so in the end i think its only a bar.... all same same so why pay more
You can go with the Rexnet Vendor as mentioned by jdm style or Ultrex (also on Rexnet) - but take note Ultrex is Perth based, so communication etc is much easier, and delivery only takes a day or so

Mate they are fairly easy to fit, the rear requiring a bit more work but not difficult at all.
As for the H brace they are very easy to install, there is two bolts which are very tight and require a breaker bar and a bit of muscle to loosen, but still an easy job.
Just be sure to secure the car well when its off the ground,
on ramps and or stands, do not do it on just a jack !

when you put them on (both front and back) leave everthing loose untill its all assembled in place and then tighten it all down
