what else do I need to fit coilovers?
« on: 29 July 2012, 20:21 »
just purchased myself some shiny new JOM coilovers and I also have 5mm spacers for the front wheels

I know there is something else that everybody always says to replace when you fit coilovers but can't quite remember what it is?  :grin:

I'm not going to lower the front more than 50mm so shouldn't need an uprated ARB and I also don't want the +5 hp and 25 scene points that come with an uprated ARB


thanks in advance  :smiley:
