I'm currently in the process of changing my stock EK4 suspension for EK9 ones but having changed the fronts in an hour I've hit some problems with rears.
All the bolts in the LCA both sides are corroded into the bushings, no amount of penetrant spray, hammering and levering has got them free. I've started cutting/grinding them out and now as far as I see I have two choices, either try and get new LCA bushes in the hope I can press out the old ones or replace the whole LCA.
I'm led towards new LCAs as bushes alone seem very hard to come by. I've phoned DMS and he can do the whole rear end set but a quick play shows all the other bolts to be equally seized and I cannot afford the time and money to get all those bolts out too
Does anyone know where I can get a set of LCA bushes?
Looking at LCAs my choices seem endless and though I'm on a very tight budget I have seen the posts about eBay copies and other low priced models, what are my best options without going to Skunk2/Function7 money? Also do any come in black? they all seem to be anodised or painted and I'm not a fan of the showey colours.
All help, suggestions and comments appreciated
