they will be fooked in no time and fail then you have to take it all to bits again to fit new ones, seen it so many times by people who didnt bother in the first place, you have made the right choice here withoubt doubt  :wink: :cool:

Hope they will be fine. Thanks Kells.

Called a few places today, and half of the people didn't even know what I was talking about, lol

They go like "ignition coil?" "Is that springs or shocks?"

Then talked a guy, who seemed alright, and he said £150, but might do it cheaper. Just wants to see the kit  :laugh:

I fitted Jamex coilovers 2 weeks ago, it was really easy. I would recommend doing it yourself with a mate.......... On the front top mounts all you need is a 21mm spark plug socket and 7mm allen key + a bar to lever the allen key. This is if the impact gun will not do it. The  back is ridiculously easy to do.........
