Got my AP Coilovers on and gave her a bath! Handles so much better now :D







How did you go about fitting your coilovers? I have been struggling with mine and a light bulb just appeared above my head now thinking about it.
Any help mate?

I'm hoping mine turn out like that when I attempt mine! Did you remove them or do them in place?

Need to seal the lenses with wax regularly or get them laquered or else they will cloud up again with time.
