Fitted some lowering springs 2 my SRi on the weekend but only managed 2 get the front ones on cuz it started snowing so now it looks like a metro :o !! wuhoo! Anyway when i had the wheel and suspension off i noticed the cv rubber split all the way round and that the brake disk moved about loads. The screw that holds the disk in place has sheared off and now the disc is only held on by the caliper :evil: . Next thing i noticed was that the sill had almost rotted through. Just annoying how you do one thing and it unearths loads of problems especially when ur skint!! :roll:

Always the way mate!Ive had untolds go wrong in the last couple of weeks :cry:
CV boot not to much of a problem as for the brake when you tighten the wheels back up it should be fine my old car did that and never had no problems.
Hope you get it sorted mate :wink:
