I pretty much have te works kit without the Koni's and then some.
With the Konis you will have to cut, basically the top off yourstandard struts (from the spring perch) and insert the koni struts...hence why they are know as inserts
As AZ STE said...the control arm bushes will be a pain. Best thing i found to work was my uncles hydraulic press. But you can do it with a vise, large screw driver and hammer, basically find something to secure the bush and pound the control arm out.....doing it the other way is HELL.
If you are doing the rear trailing arm bush kit....you WILL need a hydraulic press. Do not melt the old bushes out as this wil lcause the metal to anneal and fatigue. Also ...you will need two 22mm spanners/wrenches. If you dont work out oyu havent got a chance at cracking these. You may need a very large friend to do these...i know i did. And no an impact wrench wont fit
. The easiest bush to do is the one on the hubs....juts make sure te hub is secure (have a disposable person hold it in case you miss
) and take that big ass screw driver out and beat it out. If that doesnt work take a LARGE socket.....one that is larger in diameter than the bush, a long bolt with a wide washer and nut, then another socket that is the same or a little thinner in diameter than the bush. Put a socket at each end, thread the bolt through with the head on the smaller socket and put te washer and nut on the back of the large socket....tighten and the bush will be pressed out of the hub and into the socket....hopefully you didnt end up with the bush stuck in the socket.....thats when i got out the propane torch :twisted:
The rear sway bar...set it in the middle first then see how you like the extra oversteer.....the full hard setting is for nutters (like Kev :shock
For the love of your bodily extremities get a spring compressor for the lowering springs
Bean should also chime in on how lovely it was to fit the koni's :lol:
Leave yourself 2days to get this done and have another car if you need to take bits to get pressed.
