Re: Coilovers (fitting)
Just dodge all the speed bumps near me
There's a guy near me who's 70r 80f and doesn't rub, scrape etc so hopefully should be fine

that is a bump Stop, it has absolutely nothing to do lowering, it's only function is to stop the shock from ruining itselfJamieTee_ wrote:Just dodge all the speed bumps near me

If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway

Re: Coilovers (fitting)
Anyone know what tools I'll need to get my standard suspension out and coilovers in?
can't be bothered waiting round for this guy to get the keys to his garage so I'm going to burnley and fitting it with one of my mates who knows what he's doing
