Coilovers!

[Dawzy]

Hi all I'm thinking about coil overs but I'm being told different stories about fitting them some say there easy enough to fit but also been told you HAVE to have a garage fit them :/ a mate said he's done his him self and they just fit straight on but I have NO clue

[wadoryu]

Hardly,they are very simple to fit, if you have access to a decent set of tools.

[Dawzy]

Yeah tools is fine I'm just hoping to put it simple it's just a case of out with the old and in the the new .. I don't want to have to get things made or what ever to make them fit if that makes sence haha

Saxo ones are different to what i've come across before as most cars just have the strut bolt on were as a saxo you have to kind of build it up on you'r existing hubs.

Simple to do of you done them before.

Yeah that's what I've been told its a pig to bolt to the hubs .. Is there a thread on here people selling any .. Sorry new to this site haha

Been told that to fit the rears you need to have the car about 2ft in the air to it them I think he's talking bullshit :/

they arent difficult at all. Once the strut is off the car and the spring/damper is off, its really simple to just build up the coilover setup onto it. pretty much the same

you dont fit rear coilovers. the rear just needs the torsion bar adjusting, which can be a pig and it has to be done using the right method. No it doesnt need to be 2ft in the air. Whoever told you that clearly knows nothing

Thanks for the replies fellas .. Yeah this guy works in a local garage be alive it or not haha! But he thinks he's the dogs bollocks at everything! It might be because he thought I was going to pay him to fit them until I said I may have a go at doing it my self so made it out to be a mission of a job .. Wanker!
