Lowering Springs

[MichaelGrimes]

Just read through the guide on how to fit lowering springs
Was wondering how long it would take to fit all 4 corners?
Bearing in mind this is somethign that iv never done before...

The rears take 45 minutes max.

Some can do it in well under 20min

The fronts take longer, but it's a straightforward job. Id get a mate to help.

About 1-2 hours.

I did my rears in about 30 mins. I know the fronts will take longer...get another pair of hands is the best advice. I would have already done fronts, but have struggled to source a drop neck 21mm spanner. Managed to get one today, so this should be done on mine over the weekend (weather permitting).

im hoping, that my old man is going to help me... unfortunately, hes an unsocial b**tard and works nights! so doesnt tend to get up till 12 and isnt human till at least 1/half 1! and i was hoping to start first thing (depending on when i get up!) haha, but i should be able to manage the rears on my own, and hopefully un assemble the front end on my own! if not, il wake my lazy brother up and gethim to help me! even though hes about as useful as a chocolate fire guard!

Make your own tool like me and Heez did!

It's genius.

Allows a torx/allen key to drop through the middle, 21mm normal spanner on the outside.... Yaldi.

Looks good...but really couldnt be arsed messing about THAT much. Tried loosening bolts earlier and seemed to move easy enough...so should be a happy bunny this weekend.

Fair play on your little home made alterations.
