epic fail, 2nd hand H&R's onto a 172, i do the backs first, easy! whack on the passenger front and set the approx ride height, easy!

whack on the drivers side, would the platform budge? no f**king chance!

:mad:

yeah i guess cutting it off is the only option left. pain in the ass collecting the new one but it will be worth it when they are on :cool:

right, sorted!

i payed a cheeky visit to my friends at Bilstein (they make the shock inserts for H&R)

crossed their palms with silver, bingo bango a new spring platform and a recut of the thread, back to mine, hacksaw to the old platform, quick wollop with the problem solver and it turns out the thread had been stripped off the platform causing it to jam, bit of love with the wire brush and scraper and its now ready to go on the car :)

anyone need their H&R's servicing/rebuilding give me a shout :)

That spotty c**t Subway sold me his and it took about an hour with WD40 to get everything moving again, then go to fit the fronts and one tof he dampers is missing bits... worst still spotty c**t Subway doesn't offer to help with the missing parts!

I'm not into detailing but i think if i had coilovers again i'd take them off and clean them up every 6 months because they all seem to seize, no matter what they're made of.
