fyfie5 Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 yeah those 'coilovers' are pretty dangerous, i was the same as you when i first started modding and thought they looked cheap and decent but the guys on civic5 quickly told me why, but yeah those are pretty much the cheapest 'real' coilovers i could find and they are very good for the price! get a project thread started!yeah I will be uploading pics soon - I can't believe how much transformation your mb2 had - so jealousthanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pjrzn Posted October 24, 2012 Author Share Posted October 24, 2012 £100 pounds sounds okay, could take ages, might not take very long.When I changed mine one of the members on here gave me a hand to do it, it's not too hard. I'm sure being in london there are a couple of bods localish who have done it and would give you a hand My cuz and I can do it but the only thing I'm scared of is snapping the screw like what he did - lol he had to pay extra just to take it off - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pjrzn Posted October 26, 2012 Author Share Posted October 26, 2012 just watched a video and realised how easy it is to fit the coilovers- you just need the write tool fyfie can you suggest what tools I need for this so I can visit my local halfords Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fyfie5 Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 a good socket set should do the job for coilovers and if your putting the original top mounts on the the new coilovers i would recommend spring compressors even though people have done it without its pretty dangerous, also lots of WD40 to soak the rusted bolts a few days in advance and you should be good to go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
