After looking for a few months I finally found a ej9 thats in good condition. Its only got 77K on the clock and only a bit of surface rust in the spare wheel compartment and on the front where the headlights and grill attach to, 2 tiny dents one of the end on the bonnet and the other on the passenger door. And the front bumber has some scratches on the sides but they were toucges up.
But besides that its in great conditon everything works well and the interior is in great condition (just needs a bit of a clean). Got the full service history and loads of receipts for all the work done over the years and even has 2 keys. Im happy I finally found a decent one

Ive already ordered some 15" enkei wheels with Michelin tyres and some skunk 2 neo chrome lower control arms :)
 
Looks like a clean base to start with. I'm loving the plate :p

What do you mean ordered? Like brand new Enkei's?!

£60 for new lcas ?

They'll be fake then. Send them back and buy from a trader like h-tune
 
Send them back. Nothing worse than fake parts, especially suspension parts.

Secondhand or buying from traders are good like.

I thought it was too good ive seen quite a few people selling "skunk 2 neo chrome" lcas on ebay for £60-£85
 
Nikster, as said above , these are not genuine....quick way to tell is the genuine bushes have five groves, the fake ones have 8...but all been said, mixed reviews on these, some say bushes are like cheese, others say they ok...with regards to neo chrome, these cheaper products coating on top deteriorates very quickly...the other anodised finishes last a lot longer..

Yeah I did wonder about that because I was looking at a used pair and they werent very good looking, could I not just change the bushes to genuine ones and then that will solve that??

Got my lcas today I opened the 'skunk 2' box and they look so nice they were in sealed 'skunk 2' bags aswell but they are 8 grooves in the bushes. I asked the sell after I opened it I said " ive already opened it so im not going to return it but are they genuine skunk 2 because I heard that if the bushes have 8 grooves they are fake" but he said as far as he know they are real from his skunk 2 distributor
