KiNK43 Posted April 4, 2012 Author Share Posted April 4, 2012 I know that Feeling. I got loadsa stuff needs doing. Also head gasket on my wifes punto needs doing. All the goodies are in the kitchen. Woop WoopThe Punto can wait That's what I'm saying. Shame she doesn't agree ! Told her not to buy that crap, mind you my record with the civic probably out weighs a measley head gasket failure!

KiNK43 Posted April 7, 2012 Author Share Posted April 7, 2012 i fitted one front coilover tonight. took about half an hour. its on the lowest setting as it is. but i dont think its low enough.i believe if i remove the small helper spring i should have around 1.5" more adjustment. i guess thats why they design them like that.also strange i found that the eg top mounts that came with them have a different thread so my MB6 nuts didnt fit, meaning i had to disassemble and put MB6 top mounts on with the new bushes.looks more or less same as before...
