Gwr corrado 189 Posted December 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 Oh and what sort of figure should I be looking at for a garage to do the job they have quoted me between 200 and 290 to repair mine , but said they can't say how much else to do the job till they have my car in Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Pete 1,455 Posted December 14, 2014 Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 I had one from stealth racing who are a distributor for http://www.powerracksdirect.co.ukBeen running one since my new engine and all good. Avoid GSF racks. Even vince has commented on the quality of these Think the price of the rack is 180 then you need to factor the labour, you will need to drop the rack though to fit, so new stretch bolts required too.

VR6Pete 1,455 Posted December 14, 2014 Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 Nah they are cheap. Just labour really. Talking a 2 - 3 hours max if have thought but places like stealth will be pretty efficient. Give them a call and tell them pete from vr6oc recommended you to them. Wouldn't bother repairing to be honest when there are GOOD recon ones available. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Gwr corrado 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Gwr corrado 189 Posted December 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 Will do Pete top man !! And 2 to 3 hours labor you say ? I shall bear that in mind when the garage tell me a story lol , Link to post Share on other sites

I shall bear that in mind when the garage tell me a story lol ,That's just a guess but you'll have to factor in any difficulties dropping subframe and alignment after fitting. Stealth can do 4 wheel alignment. Link to post Share on other sites
