Changing springs

[Seymour]

ive just had my car lowered but ive got problems with the free insurance not allowing me to have lowering springs fitted so ive got to change it back to standard.

is it an easy job to do?

A car mech mate and me did four corners in under 2 hours... and we stopped for coffee!! He knew exactly waht he was doing tho. I couldnt believe the time taken, I thought it might take half a day!

As JAY172 said its not a hard job, only when you know how tho!

I have just done mine with a mate in work, took us around 2 hours and we never had a clue what we were doing before we started - followed the Cliosport guide - easy as.

well i tried to do it but the monkeys who fitted the lowering springs didnt put one of them in correctly and to cut a long story short the strut in knackered so ive got to get another one of them. ive posted a topic in the dealers page.

Oh thanks for the compliments Levo. Glad it helped you out.

Anyone who is remotely handy with a spanner can do this job themselves. Its easy and will save you wonga in the long run for other mods.
