did you fit your coilovers yourself?

Top tip for undoing rusty bolts. Don't use WD40 (it's Water Displacement 40th attempt). Use plusgas which is a penetrative lube (not that type) and breaks down rust deep in the thread.

You will need to reset the camber once fitted,Gunsons do one of these :- http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Gunson-77066-Trakrite-Magnetic-Camber-Castor-Gauge-/220994878811?pt=UK_Hand_Tools_Equipment&hash=item3374523d5b

Very handy as it's around £50 upwards at a garage each time.

You will also need to be careful of where the collars are as they could touch your tyres  :embarassed:

If you got a spare few quid get yourself one of these: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Liftmaster-12V-Impact-Wrench-Digital-Display-Torque-Configuration-/270890888941?pt=UK_Home_Garden_PowerTools_SM&hash=item3f125aeeed

I must have cut off at least and hour or so when swapping from one car to another with it. Although it has now broke i would defo get another one!

It lasted a good 6 months! I don't think they are designed for heavy duty use though.

My LCD went not so long after, then the motor eventually gave in.

that looks like cheap crap to be honest, I purchased a 2.5hp, 50litre compressor kit from wolf it had, 2 spray guns, 30m of hose a gunk gun a tyre pressur gauge an only cost £40 in a sale, also in the sale was the air tool version of this, for £10, had it 3 years & never once had a problem with it, shame as its got a 5 year warrantee

Got a Dewalt 36V Impact gun and a Makita impact driver with a half inch adapter if you're near.

The Dewalt is amazing but just a tad heavy so the Makita is used for lighter jobs.
