Title: Rear shocks - what else do i need?
Post by: cняis on 19 February 2010, 19:27

right guys the knackered rear coilovers will be getting swapped for weitec adjustable rear shocks/springs next week.

what other components will i need to buy before i strip the rear end?  :huh:

the new shocks come with lower spring plates, and i have already bought new FEBI upper and lower bearing rings (see picture), bump stops and protective tubes & caps

what else should i be buying? i.e. will i need the upper spring plate?

its being done in our workshop so the spanner monkey doing the work will (hopefully) realise he needs spring compressors  :tongue:
