Whiteline RARB fitted
I've heard nothing but good reports about RARBs so decided it was time I treat myself to a Whiteline BHR75, plus it can be transferred to another Astra if I change
.
It wasn't hard to guess what the postie had delivered, and massive thanks to Davecoupe - cheers
.
Unwrapped...
I'd already decided that due to the light surface rusting I would paint the RARB and brackets to match the brake calipers - so red it is
.
Now down to business...
The rear spring bump stop lower limiter plate needed the hole widening to 10mm...
Bracket on...
Next the rear trailing arm nut is removed to secure the forward bracket...
Like so...
Both brackets...
Next to offer the RARB up prior to tightening and securing all brackets...
Just before final checks and lowering back to ground...
I've only been for a short drive but was very impressed with the difference the RARB has made - I know why people say it's the best mod you can do
.
As always, a massive thanks to @paul_bunce for being the mechanical lead - Cheers mate

I also wore my Vauxhall T-Shirt today, it made all the difference, lol.
