Fitting Coilovers DIY Style

[kennedyuk2001]

Do you need spacers on to fit coilovers?

[Broomers-GTi]

Yes mate. Basicly the inner tyre will rub. i think its like 5mm minimum on the front. Not shor about the back.

I got 20mm rear spacers and 15mm front spacers. Looks FAAT as Fuuu mate, cant wait to drop her 40/50mm, shes gunna look FAT

not always, i dont have spacers, however have a feeling i may when i put the tt comps back on

[Wazzzer]

all depends on wheel offsets and widths, there is no definite answer

[Broomers-GTi]

Oh I see. Well I no the defiant answer for my one :p

You'll need a 21mm deep spanner/Impact gun for the top nut, other than that they're pretty straight forwards. As for the hub splitting tool people go on about, just disconnect the droplink and lever the lower arm down whilst hammering the hub. It'll come out.
