wrong section...

oh, and on another note...theyre very easy

pop out the torsion bar...lower it on the back via a jack and slot it back in...there are loads of guides on here, so do a search.

Torsion Bar's are t***s!

Just change the springs on Mk2s!

 

[madmike1]

very easy! oly problem you may have is that when you take the front suspension out the disc will flop and if your not careful this could cause the driveshaft to pop out!

Yeah, just springs at the back.

Tbh the backs will come out with a crow bar in a matter of a seconds, just a simple jack up and jimmy them out.

The fronts take a little longer but a providing you have spring compressors/don't mind playing a bit of Russian Roulette you will be fine.

For the backs budget 15 minutes but for the fronts 90 minutes.

It will be harded to reverse the process however.

No torsion bar.

just pig tail springs.

raise back end - both sides. rag the pig tails out

As said above fronts are a bit trickier
