Title: Coilovers ordered this morning!!!
Post by: Leroy on 01 February 2013, 09:05
Right ordered some Jom coilovers this morning, new FEBI rear and front mounts, just deciding whether or not to get febi or powerflex rear axle bushes and we're off! depends on whether or not my mate whos fitting it will fit febi ones, cus they are supposed to be a right pain. got my magnex exhaust to go on and paint for my anni calipers while its being done, so should be looking right for Dubfreeze this month(apart from the rust)!!!

Pics to follow!

Sweet will look way better, when I did mine I fitted febi plus poly inserts to firm them a little more , they are a bit of a sqeeze to get in,i made a tool to do it with threaded bar and some other bits ,it looks a right contraption lol but it worked,remember not to tighten the bolts that go through the bush until your suspension is fully compressed,ie back on its wheels,i lowered mine onto some big wooden blocks so I could still get under the car.

Whats Dubfreeze like ive never been and its only down the road from me. If I go they will have 2 rusty mk3 in the car park lol.

TBH Screech, dubfreeze is a bit more for campers the last few years, and cus its on the top of the hill in stafford its normally blowing a freezing cold gale (hence the name probably) but its normally pretty busy inside, you'll find the odd decent golf there but i only go cus its local and its the first show of the season, and there isn't another show until ultimate dubs in march.
