Mario Blue Eyes Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 Has anybody made a tutorial for this?If not, does anybody know any places in london that fit them for a decent price etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigz™ Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 They are straight forward enough.FrontLoosen the hub bolts (the two that connect the hub to the strut), remove the nuts but leave the bolts in place.Undo the top mount nut.Remove the bolts from the hubs and pull away the stut and spring.Remove the top hat assembly from the standard spring/shock and fit it to the coil over strut.Refit the new strut!RearsPull back the carpet and remove the top hat bolt.Remove the bolt in the bottom of the strut.Remove the strut and the spring (these are seperate from each other on the rear)Fit the new parts in place.

Philplop Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 Because they expect it to be harder?Not confident with working on the car?Don't have time?Don't have the tools? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 Trickiest part of fitting them is getting the camber right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

s3boy Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 would it be the same for a normal lupo sport? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigz™ Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 Yup.But easier if fitting FK Konigsports as the camber pretty much set for you when you pull back on the top of the brake disc style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
