things i learnt fitting coilovers for the first time

[whileoceanasleeps]

don't start at 4pm when it's getting dark outside and you have no lights
don't jack up the car on the rusty sill
don't use an air gun to de-thread bar
don't drive into raised paving straight away and snap vr splitter

well my coilies are finally on and it looks awesome!! way cooler than stock.. so happy.

Lol good advice, I will take heed when putting coilies on my Mk3, especially the bit about rusty sills!

swearing is a good soundtrack to trying to undo a nut the wrong way for 20 mins

Soon you'll also learn the sickening noise of your sump skipping over large stones in the road or the point where you realise you no longer have access to 50% of british roads...
