ep82 Posted April 19, 2010 Author Share Posted April 19, 2010 nice one mike. Thanks for the in depth guide. you got one for the drop links?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supermike Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Trying to remember the way i done it now..... Anyway usual jacking up stuff wont go into it. To make life easier put another jack under the front arm, roughly where the suspension sits and raise the jack to take pressure off of the link. Now im pretty sure there should be an allan key head inside the studs of the links. You will need to hold the stud still with the allan key when removing the nut, if you have ratchet spanners this makes life much more easy. If not an ordindary ring spanner or opened ended spanner will still do! I believe space is tight for getting the spanners in but it can be done. Loosing both nuts first (top and bottom) then once they are loosened remove one, followed by the other. Fitting is just the reverse of removal really, you will probably noticed the front anti roll bar has probably went up a bit as its under tension all the time, this is why the jack is on the front arm, if you cant get the new link on jack the front arm up a bit so it brings the two locating holes for the drop links closer together.

supermike Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Sorry i should be more clear, they fit the 5 door hatchs in saying this though my older VTi has the same drop links as yours. Estate ones are totally different as they have a different front ARB. Right i promise these will fithttp://cgi.ebay.co.uk/CIVIC-ED-EG-EH-MB ... 33553945daIf they dont i will come down with proper ones and fit them for you!

ep82 Posted April 22, 2010 Author Share Posted April 22, 2010 Thanks mike.Right, I just have to ask if these will 1000000% Fit as I cannot afford to spend more money as my card bill is about £400 this month AND, Do you think I can return the other ones or does these sell on here? meaning is there many cars which these will fit onto? Id rather sell these At £15 delivered and lose £5 than stuck with them and lose £20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
