Following the successful conversion of my seatbelt and therefore the fact that the LC will grace my driveway for a while longer , I'm now thinking about finally pulling the trigger on the Ironman SL from West Coast, I have been dithering about for over a year The ride was already getting harsh on the Dunlop AT21s but since I changed to the Hankook (LT rated) tyres it's become really bad!
I called WC today and was quoted £450+VAT (for the VJZ95 "B" kit) plus either £100+VAT for fitting or £30 for delivery. I know quite a few of you have fitted the IM kit and I would like your thoughts on the following;
1. Would it be worthwhile getting it fitted by WC, I (currently) have the time but it would cost approx another £70 in LPG for the round trip.
2. I know many of you have commented on the poor paint finish on the kit - would it be worthwhile having it delivered and doing some "prep" i.e. paint it with some hammerite or similar before having it fitted locally?
3. I'm also thinking about having the steering bushes and perhaps the ARB bushes done at the same time - where is the best place to source these - Milners/Roughtrax?
