Help with coilovers...

[StevieG-09]

Bought a set of Vmaxx coilovers from a member on here on monday and want to have a go at fitting them sometime this week or weekend.
Dose anyone have a guide for fitting them? As i have no instructions for them.

Cheers

Do you have spring clamps? You need them to do the fronts.

^ Indeed. He'll just whip the whole strut out, no need to strip the spring from the damper.

you need the bearing and rubber mount off the top.

just undo the nut facing at a wall pick bits up later

alrite sooo what do i do??

 

[StevieG-09]

I have spring clamps and all the tools to do the job,
I think the front ones will be alrite as i think it is just a case of swapping the shock and spring for the coilover basically?
Just the rears i would like to see how all the bits go on, in what order as they are all in seperate parts atm.

 

[Plummer]

Yeah your right with the fronts, although I had to use washers with mine inbetween the hub and coilover to fill the excess space.
I'm not sure on the backs, I think they just replace the rubber parts, and either the bolt OR the bolt and the silver plate bolt on underneath with the blue bit on top.

I would recommend winding the fronts to have 14-16 threads visible.
And then adjust from there.

theres a guide and some more are also in the guide section.
I know thats a sport but it gives you a good idea and also has a few pics which helps.
