Well its fitted now, been on a few days and i have to say the difference is HUGE.
I cant reccomend this part enough, transforms the handling of the car IMO.
Anyhow heres the pics of it, any opinions???

Yeah i could do one of those if people are interested, needs 2 people as the bar is very hefty, and took me a bit over an hour.
Problem was i only had the car rased about 2" so i had my face right there and it was awkward, with a ramp itd be a 30-45 min job.
The kit comes with all the brackets and bushs, so its easy job really

yeah demon tweeks, mine is the 70X one, costs £96.70, but i thought it was worth going for the thicker jobbie, and yeah it stops the rear body roll, works a treat aswell.

I wasnt expecting too much frm it really, but it has made a lot more difference than i thought.
I was really disappointed with the cars handling on the coilovers, but this has changed my mind on that, driving to uni is fun at last! LOL
I would reccomend going for the thicker one if u have at least a 24mm front arb, i spoke to a guy at whiteline about it and he reccomends 24mm front and 22mm rear as a perfect match.

Which ones have you got nath, im considering the 27mm front bar now to go with it....
Already got the FK coilovers and full powerflex polybush kit on the car.
Overall im pleased with it now tho handles ok for a corsa, still plan to get koni adjustible rear shocks in place of the fixed rate fk jobbies.

that was the problem, i could only reverse the car onto 2" high blocks of wood, so actually geting in there to do it was a right bitch...
Heres a warning, dont drop the nut on the bit where it bolts thru by the wheel, spent ages fishing it out of the box metal GRRR

thats the question tho, which front one...
U deffo want the BHR70X 22 mm rear one, but i dunno which front one to go for myself...
BHF26 - 24mm or BHF26X - 27mm....
Standard SRi/GSi barsare 24mm, but thats wat whiteline reccomended as a balanced setup...
