I know I need Suspension Strut Top Mounts+ Bearings x2 but is there any thing else I need
-
This isn't essential, but putting copper grease on the coil would be a good idea
-
You need some NEW top mounts just incase your old ones fail. As lowering a car will put ALOT of strain on other suspention componants.
-
thank you for your help
wouldent the copper grease destroy the dust cover
-
new bearing and top mount, fit to the car then cap in engine bay followed by top nut, then the black cover
-
thank you Wazzzer
-
+ just remember to use the old slim inner top nut from your stock struts
-
do I use the aluminum spacer or leave it off
-
hi do the Bearings just slide on or screw on thank you
-
use the front coilovers how they came in the box, with nothing on the top thread the bearing just rests on and so does the upper rubber mount, then you screw the inner strut nut down- Fit the coilover to the car then the top hat goes on in the engine bay, and the final top lock nut
-
I cant get the bearing on as the hole is just to small

is this the right bearing
-
hi the seller on ebay has sent the right ones to replace them
-
definitely the wrong ones, should look like this
As i said before dont use that nut in the picture, you re-use the one from your stock suspension
If ur still unsure mate watch this video shows u how to install them

I started with 28 threads, probably about that same measurement you got there and it was fine until they settled and then started rubbing the driveshaft, now I have lowered it another 20mm and removed the roll bar
-with that loosing all my engine undertray several pieces on the m25 hard shoulder :grin: but no rubbing :smug:
-
thank you I would like a drop of 40mm what measurements should it be and where to measure from please thank you
-
thank you I would like a drop of 40mm what measurements should it be and where to measure from please thank you
really the only accurate way of doing that is measuring from the Floor to the arch with the standard suspension, once youv fitted the coilovers ur just have to measure it floor to arch again and see where your at, f**king pain in the ass alot of messing about i just left it at 28 threads, and on the rear fitted everything that comes in the box with the rear ajusters wound all the way down that sat pretty level
-
thank you will give 28 threads a go or I may go 40 threads
