steve1093 Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Will be fitting my BC Coilovers tomorrow, will any parts need to be greased or lubed or anything before they go on? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beastmode panda Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Copper grease all bolts that will be going back in. Copper grease the actual thread on the coilover itself to make it easier to adjust in the future and to prevent any rust etc eating at them especially coming up to the winter. A lot of people get an old push bike inner tube and wrap it round the coil thread and cable tie it in place to protect the thread/keep it spotless. But that's up to you. Do the above and you'll be fine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Do not copper grease the actual coilover, only use White lithium grease to protect it IMO. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
John GT Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 Ive heard putting some tights on the over the coilover works well, might look strange buying some ha Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rmsnoel Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Tights and bike tube will hold moisture, just bury them in grease or waxoyl. Put lots of grease on the rear topmounts, ALL over them as theres a certain other more expensive brand that rust and crack, yes alloy rusts :-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
