They look the same as these https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/193021466891 which I can definitely vouch for as good replacements

I would like to change mine over while I undertake a suspension refresh. Are they easy to swap over? Would I be able to reuse the original bolts etc.

The vertical bolts can be a bit difficult.  It also depends on whether it's got the facelift 'handling package' on - because that has to come off to do the job.

Thanks Carolyn. yes a face lift car so the under brace needs to come off? anything else to think about? I have new ARB links to swap over too.

When you get it up on jack stands (as high as you can!) have a good look at the job, give everything a generous dose of Plusgas, let it soak and just be patient as you do the job.

I've always done that job on the lift, I don't think I could manage it lying on my back.

Thanks Carolyn. I have probably have left it too late to work outside in the cold under jack stands, but we may get some bright if not chilly weekends.
