BenStanden Posted July 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 Coillies finally came today, took about 1 hour 30. Here's a little picky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenStanden Posted July 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 (edited) So my coillies finally came and here is the process.Took about an hour and a half but the last couple days before I kept spraying the bolts with WD-40Here you'll find the rear bolts just above the the wheels (obviously), so these are the bolts that I had been lubing.With these bolts you need to either use an impact wrench or use a spanner and hold the top with mole grips.Here are the bolts for the suspension in the front, these have the bolt on the inside and the thread also needs undoing.Job's a gooden. Sorting the springs for the front.Old springs out. New springs in!One side done.All done! Will still go lower just waiting for them to bed in first.The Lupo and my brothers MX-5.
