[SREmma]

Defo well worth the money mate i have g max suspension kit on mine and they are good sounds like u got ya self a bargin!

[Philsutton]

Yeah you got yourself a bargin there, all you will need to get them off is a 19mm socket an racket, 19mm spanner, 17mm socket an 13mm socket. An a pair of mole grips as you can anything with them. Wont even need a jack as you can rob one out the back of another car.

You have two 19mms at the bottom of the shock on the front an two 13mms on top of the turret in the engine bay.
On the back you have a 17mm on the shock that goes onto the rear beam an i think its a 17mm again inside the car for the top of the shock. rear springs will fall out when you gte the shock outs.

If its all fairly new then it should come off rather easy.

good value them.

If 60mm - make sure the stop tops (rubber bung things) at the top of the front shocks are about 2cm deep and are not all knackeres. They usually need cutting down.

Also you'll need a 19mm dropped neck (or known as a swan neck or crank neck) spanner for the top strut nut. You'll need to lock the inner nut that sits about like an erect titty.

Theyre biatches to undo as they often seize and you'll be cursing your lost skinned hands. There are many who will tell you they used a length of scafffolding (like myself) to undo the buggers. I recommend soaking in wd40 over night.

:lol:

The Haynes is pretty good for a guide to changing shocks.

you WILL need spring compressors for the old ones unless you undo the shock when the car is not jacked up (mainly for safety and they are lethal if they ping off)!
