Hey NutNuts,

When the car is out of the the garage being tuned and new exhaust fitted, I need to lower her by 30mm. Ganna get the springs from Ebay as they tend to be good brands and good prices.

What do members think of these bad bois:

The main question I have is, can I fit these out the box on my current shocks? It has been said, if I have my original self leveling shocks, I can't fit these springs? Is that true? Not much info on the web to back that up.

Any advice and tips appreciated as I'm ganna get the compressor tool and attempt it myself!! good times B)

Just a case of, taking apart, changing the spring then putting it back exactly the way it all came off? You know of a good guide online I can get a basic understanding from before I get the 12mm out?

Cheers,

Once you start doing it mate, its self explanatory.

Fronts are tricky, but simple.
