Finally the new beam is installed. Had no problems what so ever.
All the bolts and nuts came off easily and there were no surprises like rust damage and such.

I shortened the stock torsion bars by one inch from both ends. The measurement is not that crusial but obviously you need to be very carefull when measuring and drilling holes to bars for spring fastening screws. One inch inner than the original ones.

The stock anti roll bar went in easily, too. It mounts nicely of the outer side of the rail arms. Also the stock tie rods fitted perfectly. As a summary I'd say that there is no need to buy the shortened accessories on sale for the 2" narrowed cb front beam.

I adjusted camber with the instructions found from www.volkkaripalsta.com and alligned the front wheels and installed caster shims. I will get it to shop for checking, though.

Here you can see few pictures about the result. I am happy - with the suspension set high the car is too high (can reach 50cm from the lights to ground with stock wheels). And when adjusted low it is too low... Perfect :)

Next: roll bar...
