    Nah just slide them, needed a fair bit of force, all you need is a Phillips head to pop off the little holding pin things

    I am yet to 'slam' it, but they are hard. Harder than usual and bouncy but of holds much better in the corners But I much prefer driving with them on, it feels closer to the road and more racy

    Cheers buddy, side mouldings are easy, the rear ones slide to the front until they click then they just fall off, the fronts are held by a little pin like thing, pop that out and they do the same but sliding to the back

    Wheel boring, where to get it done? + offset issues

    Before you replaced the rear beam did you have any problems with rubbing at the back then?

    Wheel boring, where to get it done? + offset issues

    @MWright how do your rear wheels sit with the wider beam? and would they fit with some spacers on the front without rubbing ect

    Ta Technic 1.2 16v ph2

    the springs were alright actually, i used a socket wrench and fired them, the first into the air (not clever), the second into a box which held all the bits fired off i like the way they feel, been driving round today all fine, my road is a s**t hole so its a bit bouncy, gives me a better...

    Haha I used so much, I didn't have a proper socket set either kinda used spanners and stuff, lol One of my rear springs had snapped, so I would have failed an mot anyway, I'll let you know about the ride and getting used to them

  23. benhiggs

    Ta Technic 1.2 16v ph2

    Well i managed to fit mine properly earlier, lowered it too much straight away and will raise them in the morning Youll have to do the same amount of work to use lowering springs, i didnt decompress my original springs properly, just kinda fired them into a box, with new springs and shocks...

    You can get either a replacement rubber set Or they do solid top mounts, haven't looked into them that much but they give better feedback and stuff, but you can probably imagine for an increased price

    Ta Technic 1.2 16v ph2
