Changing suspension springs

Post by se3454 » Wed Oct 13, 2010 5:32 pm

Hi, got new lowering springs for my suspension, going to have a go at doing them at the weekend as the guy from bell hill says it's a fairly straight forward job, does anybody know if there is a guide or a fact sheet anywhere for doing this? I couldn't seem to find one, or can anyone give me any advice or instructions on how to do them? Many thanks

Have a search i posted on it a couple of year ago :wink: you will need a spring compressor if you haven't got one, but yeh it tis fairly straight forward fronts not as easy as rears tho.

There are full step-by-step instructions in the cunningly entitled "Spring Assisters" fact sheet which you will find in the members area at:

Many thanks for all your help! Just finished repairing my new bodykit an that's off now to the bodyshop, hoping to get that back and fitted at the weekend along with having a go at doing these springs! Thanks again
