Seen a pair of R888r's for £180 the pair here

Decent as they're £100 a tyre at most places.
Ahh right, i assumed the bar going to the struts would be used for harnesses after i'd posted.
Be nice to see some gussets on the cross/diagonal bars :wink:
Reminds me of the time i had to remove an engine, box and subframe from one that was parked nose first against a fence on axle stands with the wheels and suspension removed 😂
The grease will reduce the friction thus allowing the bolt to be tightened more, which applies more clamping force and stretching the bolt.
That's why ARP supply special grease with their studs and bolts so that the torque can be replicated the same on each fastener.
You assumed I didn't torque them, but I did.
After they had come loose the copper grease was cleaned off and then they were re torqued. They have since never come loose.
Same reason I don't copper grease wheel bolts.
Bit of penetrant spray should be fine, they can be tight though. Heat as mentioned should work.
Don't copper grease them when putting them back in. Had them come loose doing that.
