Gavs_arosa16v Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 Good news Coilovers have arrived. Bad news I am a bit worried about fitting them myself, because I dont have axel stands and a trolley jack. Gutted because I wanted to get them on for gti festival. Another issue can any company do camber and tracking or does it have to be a specialist company.I was going to take it to elite but they have stopped their fitting service for parts supplied by the coustomer.Got to get the rear box on as well. All the garages in my area dont want to touch modified cars. style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":angry2:" border="0" alt="angry.gif" /> Any ideas help would be welcomeGav Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gavs_arosa16v Posted March 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 Yep they took ages. 10 - 15 working days they said and fk sent them to the wrong place. Ended up being about 3 weeks, but worth the wait. They are not even on yet. style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gavs_arosa16v Posted April 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 Got the day off friday. So it will be cleaned and polised within an inch of its life, then I will take some pics. Cleaned it on saturday, for gti festival. But 200m down the road it was plastered in *****. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
