yeah was hoping Fred would give me some help - photo preferably so I can see what the mod looks like

I have fitted FK coilovers but not sure about raising/lowering the rear - do I have to disconnect the shock in order to give the less tension on the platform from the spring or is it ok to adjust when the car is jacked up - will the spring dig into the thread on the platform?

lowered my 172 today - used FK konigsport coilovers - I thhink i have it oo low at the moment so will raise it tomorrow - seems to be rubbing a tiny bit at the front - think it is where a piece of the inner arch sticks down to cover the bumper mount - has anyone done a fix for this?? also the...

fitted mine today and the front are nearly right to the top and it is still low as fook - are you able to get stiffer springs yoz as these seem too soft. also is there a way of tightening the front top mounts properly - the central thread does not stick out enough to get a spanner or socket...

matched to the Gasket that is between it and the head. The Gasket is apparently a very good guide - from what I have read

they are on exchange basis - they will have one ready - you just need to give them yours in return.

As title??

nice 1 fred - haha any ideas on how to clean the threads on the front shocks - tried engine degreaser with toothbrush etc but not much coming off - dont want to use a wire brush incase it pulls the 'zinc' coatin off - wot do you reckon?

oh and i understand what you mean about the nuts on the top - just being temporary

i have now realised half the nuts etc I was on about were for the rear - tosser eh!! anyway here are some pictures of what ive got

lol

lol

they are the konigsorts - but i doubt that makes any difference

nice 1 fred - i would come and get them fitted with you but I am skint til next week and working next weekend so it would be a few weeks before i could get up to you - I meant there were washers supplied with the shocks - there are 2 big ones, bout 2-3 inches wide - another 2 then about an inch...

cardiff mate - one of my mates is supposed to be fitting them on saturday but he has only ever fitted Spax coilovers - just want to make sure we know where the parts go - was gonna get fred to fit but Im skint til next weekend plus Im workin that weekend so it would be a few weeks before I could...

there are 2 washers, a flat round one and a round one with raised bits on it - do these go above the bearing or below and does the rubber doughnut look like a dome (wider at the bottom than the top)

Need a picture of an Fk front Coilover fully built - preferably showing the top. Where the hell does the black rubber piece go??

somone else on here posted a picture of some they had just had painted next to a blue 16v - have a look for it in the pictures section - should be about 3/4 pages back. They looked nice!

much prefer the turbines - would definately look mint in anthracite - If it was mine I would be getting it done

like the floating amp - very Pimp My Ride!

any more tips???

need to get a spare one so I can still drive my car - gonna buy some proper stuff to do it with - mop heads etc. Gonna just do the Renault sport writing for now.

not sure mate either aluminium or steel

that is mint - good buy!

what is a polishing mop?

cool - shall be doing that then - should stop it tarnishing as well. Saying that though I just remembered it says long lasting protection on the Auto Glym metal polish anyway so shouldnt tarnish too bad - my exhaust stays looking good easily.

just a cloth - bought some polishing cloths from halfords to save wrecking my girlfriends tea towels lol. Also if anyone knows - is that true - should I treat it to stop it tarnishing and if so what should i use?

if thats true then I shall do it tomorrow - are you sure r-jay?

You can drive without a problem - I think it is there in case of an accident so the fuel rail does not get damaged (but I could be talking crap)

final step was metal polish - about 4/5 coats and some serious rubbing!
