Hi has any one got any threads on how to lower the front end?
Got the idea of how to do the rear was just wondering bout the front :)

Its easier than the back imo.
But you have to undo the hub nut; track rod; balljoint (think thats it)
Then pop the shaft out the end and support it to stop it falling out your box and gearbox oil going everywhere.
Undo the top three nuts being careful not to drop it. Then youll need a spring compressor and some lowering springs.
Pretty sure there is a thread soemwhere!

could you use the cars weight to compress the spring? as its what a mate told me he done with his? sorry for the stupid post!

i have done it twice without spring compressors. just used my own body weight to compress the spring whilst a mate undid the bolt, then do the reverse to refit. not ideal, but it works
