Lowering springs
« on: April 19, 2012, 01:36:36 pm »
I have been thinking of fitting a set of coilovers for a while now... however its a lot of money that I really cant justify at the moment... only one of us working and a little one draining my finances... so have been thinking about lowering springs and seen a few sets come up in the classified section... I have mentioned on here before but I am not mechanically minded and unsure what is involved with fitting these. How easy are they to fit, can you do it yourself or is it defo a garage job... and does the tracking or cars camber have to be adjusted afterwards or once fitted thats it and happy driving???

I would appreciate any advice guys....

thanks

If you dont really do much work on your cars yourself I would get a garage to fit them. If  I had a mate fit mine at his garage didnt cost much. Drives fine without alignment but dare say it is advised.

Its always advised to get a full alignment done after fitting lowering springs or coilovers
