www.supernovas.uk.com

They are currently doing full kit for about ?180 I think

They average about ?200 in most main street dealers

Fitting is v easy providing you can get the old shoicks off the front

dont quote me on this but I think you need -

spring compressors (safety) Sykes pickavant in halfords ?20

19mm cranck neck spanner (I think it that size - its a spanner with a very heavily angled neck so you can get into the strut tops) about ?5 halfords or good tool shop

9mm and I think 10mm socket (for the tops of the struts)
19mm socket for rear bolts (I think)

torque wrench (to torque the suspension main bolts)

10mm socket (for strut tops)

Length of metal pipe to act as a lever

axle stands to jack car up

chocks for rear/front when either end is up

something to support suspension arms on the front when suspension removed (drive shafts etc...) I used a bucket

hammer (to knock bolts out if stuck)

And another pair of hands for morale support...

Halfords dont do one thats angled enough. Try screwfix.co.uk or a specialist tool shop.
