Is it just a simple bolt on bolt off job and do you need to have the tracking done after thinking of doing as I'm replacing the coilovers anyway

Very easy job to do especially if your working there anyway! Dont overtighten the ball joint bolts and yes it will need tracking done as much as i hate national companies tyreland are good at tracking and are less than £30  :cool:

If fitting coilovers as well, leave it to settle for a few days before doing the tracking.

Well they will settle and lower it a little more so always best to leave it a week or so.
