Hi all,
I'm in deep water here, not sure what to do. I want to lower my car 40/40 but not sure if it is possible to do myself?!?!
Can I just buy a hottuning lowering kit and fit it myself or is it harder?
Cheers

might need an extra pair of hands, to compress the springs to get the old off?
-
spring clamps and tools and you could do it ur self
-
So can I simply just take off the old ones and put the new hottuning ones in. My m8 will give me a hand, I'm not strong enough! haha!
Is there anything that I should replace while I'm at it, that may improve handling or would be just good to replace?
Cheers for the reply m8

I'll check my funds and order them soon!
-
top mounts front and rears
-
its also wise to replace the top mounts while your fitting them oh and you'll need a tracking check/adjust at least.. add another £60 to the total
-
cheers for the help guys!

Tracking should be done but more importantly your camber will be out! I had realy problems undoing the top mount nuts, I needed to use a powerfull air gun because the shock just span! Drop into your local garage and ask them nicely to bang them off and on a few times so its loose ready for you to do the job. every thing else will be a doddle :wink:
