Jamex Coilies Fitting
« on: 10 May 2010, 23:13 »
Finally got my coilies today, but I have no idea/tools how to fit them.

So will have to go to a garage and get them fitted. Just wondered how much am I looking at?

Unless someone want to fit them for me  :laugh:

If you do them yourself you need a special tool, it's a Allen key spanner combination. It is not that difficult to do, just need to set it up properly.

tool can be manufactured from an allen key, 21mm socket, mole grips and a grinder.

then the top mounts can be removed with a screwdriver and hammer.

you will need spring compressors if your reusing your topmounts.

£150 coilover fitting procedure:

Pick up coilovers.
Walk to bin.
Place coilovers in bin.
Walk away understanding you've just avoided wasting a lot of time and discomfort.
