[t0m]

Yum yum, those will set of the car nicely!

Another AP buyer, nice to see them doing well on here. As I mentioned, not a single complaint with mine for 7 months now

 

[EL]

Wish I did coilovers now Should look the business mate

 

[Mike R]

Cheers lads ... Got the rears done last night, the front were bein an absolute nightmare, got everything undone but it just wouldnt come out of the hub, it moved about 5mm in 30mins so i put it back and gave up as it was midnight....

But heres the rear

As above drooling indeed!! Top work. Yeah fronts are a bit of a pain. It took us a while to get them out when we did mine. Needs some brute force, they will come out though

 

[Murdered LCR]

Fronts are a pain drivers side undo the 2 21mm sub frame bolts this will allow the shock to come out use loads of wd40 and a club hammer ,

That rear looks sexy! Loving the smooth rear door from that photo too. Great work!

 

[Mike R]

Cheers ...

I think ill give up till sunday when i can have a full day on doin the fronts.. Grovelling round in the darks ok but its 100times more stressfull when the struts wont come out

 

[gezmeister]

That looks frickin awesome! Are you able to drive daily at that height? I mean, i live in Norwich, out in the sticks, and my car would be trashed underneath if mine was like that. Top effort for doing it though

 

[Mike R]

Well i drive 7 miles to work everyday on shite roads and where i live theres speedbumps.. the other bad thing is the only petrol station where i live has a speedbump.. looks like ill be driving the long way to work to fill up each time lol... Ill see how low i can get the front without doin damage and if the back looks outta proportian with the fronts it will be raised... nothing worse than having reverse rake..

 

[turbo009]

Looks sweet Can't wait to see the front!

 

[LCR 225]

Fair play to you Mike your car looks mint!!

 

[Mike R]

Cheers guys.. i battled on tonight and got 1 of the fronts done, it was so stuck in the hub it was unreal... so in the end i took the driveshaft bolt out then the hub pulled away and i banged the strut straight out ... getting some nice pics sunday with a good camera hopefully

Even using a hub spreader?

Even using a hub spreader?

Use this makes it so much easier! being in the trade im forever doing this, and worthwhile tool!

 

[Mike R]

Trueeeee, no i didnt have one, but i opened the hub up with a prybar and it didnt budge much.. I know it would have been easier with the right tools like any job.. But i managed in the end that way, dint take long with a airgun.
