noodels Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 front not much lower/rear doesnt alter much be more toe in and is better for stability under braking and better turn in, tbh will only give perhaps 1.5 mm more toe in if its loads out already and drives incorrect perhaps do geo check lowering will only give min difference ectmeasure ride hight before and after Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenVTi991 Posted May 3, 2012 Author Share Posted May 3, 2012 Thanks chaps. My tyres are good - 2 nearly new Toyos on the front and good tread on the back!I picked up the bits last night and can't wait to fit them! Is there anything I should watch out for / pain in the a*se bits while swapping it all over? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noodels Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 pretty straight forwards really use good hex sockets and wire brush threads and wd40 and think you need to split top arm ball joint or bottom one :or both ?? cant remember now and dont pull half shaft out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenVTi991 Posted May 4, 2012 Author Share Posted May 4, 2012 What I've got is the the whole struts front and back so it should just be a case of unbolting my old ones and bolting the new ones in right?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
