Tommy_G Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 some people say i would... some say i could fit the back.but need special spring compressers for the front.some people have said get it done pro.So which is it?Cheers tom Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 Best way is to go pro, but if your little handy then do it youself.You'll just need a clamp to hold the springs coils together so its doesnt bounce out! My mates used a rope to really tighten the coils together, but poeple say that was daft and he should have bought the clamp! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stevie B Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 i've had to replace 2 top mounts on my coilies, i had to get motorbike clamps as the car ones was too big, get the pro's to do it S. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Glanza_Ragger Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 piece of piss matey. as long as you have some common sense.use 2 spring compressors for the spring removal. and make sure there clamed properly, otherwise the spring will pop off and so will your face other than that, easssy. half hour each corner at the most.
