, easy as that eh?? what about rusted on bolts, grazed knuckles and spring compressors??? :
hey look its a easy job if ya sit n take ya time,aint it.
if im honest m8 pay like 150,prob less for a decent secound hand shocks and springs.see you then get proper good handleing.
yes it may cost more than 40 quid for springs,but it will be alot nice to drive
nice to drive is shocks and srpings i mean.
tho spring alone will lower.
see the other opotion i jus remeber,
how bout getting some standard secong hand GTE shocks n springs
Gmax do a set of 60mm front and rear springs AND shocks (get both) for ?200!
As for fitting, unsure about rears on 5 doors (dunno if same as 3 doors)but fronts are the same - it is straight fwd but you may have probs with stiff nuts ( :o ) on yer suspension strut tops.
You will need a set of spring compressors ("25 from halfords), a 19mm crank neck spanner, 10mm spanner, 9mm socket and a good quality wrench. Some WD40, a length of scaffolding or suitable extension to help get leverage of bolts are struck (or in my case a drill so you can drill the fu cker out!!!). Torque wrench should also be useded to tighten back up (?50 halfords - suspension is pretty serious stuff!) but garage can do that for ya!
If you want a breakdown on fitting fronts (and rears for 3 door which may be same as 5 door), send me yer e-mail address, I have full set of pics when I did mine! Easy!
As for styling - just tidy her up - get some nice ICE, wheels, lower it, add a front splitter, skirts, spoiler etc...
for wheels, skirts, bumpers, spoilers etc, contact Colin Smith at www.novarally.co.uk hes always got tons of bits kicking about - he races novas. Had stuff from him - very good! or post a wanted on this site!
