New 40mm Springs

[monsey]

Anybody in the Ipswich area free in the next couple days to help fit some new springs to my 182? Preferably evening.

Cash reward!

Cheers!

i'm doing mine tomora and its supposed to be pretty straight forward so i've been told...... what spings have got for it?

I bought a set of Apex 40mm drops. I've heard mixed reviews about them, but seen a few pictures with 182's fitted with them and the stance looks perfect. How about you?

I dont find them that uncomfortable atall!!
There easy to fit mate! Rears are literally a 10min job & fronts should take roughly an hour!
Good luck with the fitment.

I fitted mine all in a couple of hours,never done them before,in my opinion they should look like that as standard

Ye fully agree with that! They look perfect on Apex's!!

i had apex on my car worst springs in the world, hit a slight dip in the road and it makes you cringe give you 1 week max and you will take them off

MrWills that stance is perfect! I cant wait to fit mine. Are there any instructions online or anything? Only thing i need to get hold of now then is axel stands?

 

[MrWills_182]

There's probably a 'guide' on here if your a paid member?
You will need…

Jack
Axel stands
WD40/Gt85
6mm allen/Hex key
21mm swan necked ring spanner
Ratchet,extensions & 21mm socket
17mm spanner
Hammer

Its really straight forward mate & you'll feel even better knowing you've done yourself & not paid a garage £100 for it.

Remember…… pics when done

+1 i changed back to sportlines after a week or 2, it took me just over an hour to do all round on my own

 

[MrWills_182]

Oh & a 19mm socket for the rears
