Nice 1 :)

I'm not sure adjusting the lower bolts will help.
Rolling the guards out or trimming the liners might be more useful.

Or go up 10mm front and rear ;)

I think it's rubbing on just a few inches of the guard where it meets the front bumper, i'll try to get that rolled first but if i'm still having problems i thought i'd try a little more camber. I've already trimmed the liners though.
I'm hoping to get it fixed next week which is why I thought i'd order the bolts now in case guard work doesn't solve the problems.

Raising it up would only be a last resort!

Just updated with a few more pics.

I went over something on the freeway which tore my front lip off! OTR say it's an 11 week wait until they get more in stock, hopefully I can get one off ebay before I ruin my front bumper.

I feel your pain bro. Today I reversed out of a parking spot and ripped off my whole front bar on that shitty yellow barrier thing in front of the parking spot.

Oh wow is it repairable?

I always park a metre away from those just in case!

Been thinking about picking up some KiDos, how are they treating you?

I don't recommend them at all, after a few weeks they started making creaking noises which turned into really loud knocking sounds.

At one stage I considered buying new coilovers but after already spending $1100 it's not worth it. Luckily they've settled down now and I hardly hear anything.

Buy BCs instead, kido will ignore any email you send.

interesting; i hear KiDo coilovers are simply rebranded BC's.

either way, sweet build.

Great looking Liberty mate!

What's the colour of those rims? They go really well with the silver paint of the car

Thanks guys :)

They're chromium black. They look really nice after a good clean but go matte grey when they get dirty which doesn't look anywhere near as good.

wondering how you went with this? did you end up making any further modifications?
