tim_evans1 Posted September 17, 2013 Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 Hey everyone. Today my suspension kit from ap arrived. Full shocks and springs kit. I was wandering if anyone had a figment guide, ie searched everywhere and can't find anything.Also as I'm lacking in tools and anywhere flat I was thinking of maybe asking a garage to fit them for me, any idea how much they might charge for that? Surely wouldn't take them very long atall.Or if I was lucky anyone in the sheffield area that could help me I could pay them instead!Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wedge75 Posted September 18, 2013 Report Share Posted September 18, 2013 This is surely similar to fitting coilies ?? Correct me if I'm wrong please If so it took me and a mate 4hours to do the full set of coilies So try the coilies figment guide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damian@DPM Posted September 18, 2013 Report Share Posted September 18, 2013 If you're lacking tools and a flat area then yes I'd get a garage to do it.Straight swap so shouldn't charge more then 2-3 hours for it.Damian @ DPM Performance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T3LLIOTT Posted September 18, 2013 Report Share Posted September 18, 2013 I'm in Sheffield and used AC Cartech for mine, not only because i know them (good set of lads), but also because they showed me how to do it for my future cars! The fronts are a relitively straight forward swap and a case of taking the wheels off, opening the bonnet to undo the top mount and basically taking yhe old set off and putting the new set on in the same order. The backs however are a little harder. I can't remember exactly from memory but the top mount screw for the back is a little hard to access as you have to open the boot, peel back some of the boot lining and remove some screws before slightly bending back the plastic bit (without making a crease/breaking it) under the rear seatbelt. This means that the suspension will become loose and then it's another case of swapping old for new! This may sound badly explained (probably cause it is) but will hopefully make sense when you open the boot. I'm no expert but i hope this helps!

T3LLIOTT Posted September 18, 2013 Report Share Posted September 18, 2013 Sorry, just read you have springs and shocks and not collies but i think it will be pretty much the sam as fitting collies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim_evans1 Posted September 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2013 Cheers for the replies people. I had a look at the fitting guide for coilies. Think I'd feel more secure letting a garage do it T3lliot, how much did they charge you for that do you mind me asking? I might give them a ring see if they can sort it at a decent price.
