    When changing to coilovers what else should be done/replaced?

    Dear All

    Ive noticed in some other posts that members change bushes etc when switching to coil overs (Bilstein B14 in my case) and advise on 4 wheel alignment etc - so my question is what other items/ should I ask my service centre to replace or perform when they have my van?

    cheers

    We changed nothing other than the shocks coils struts etc , maybe some modified bushes may help but not sure why .

    Thanks Sunny

    I thought Id read about people changing strut tower bushes or something like that and the necessity of a 4 wheel alignment when lowered but happy to not add unnecessary expense!

    Cheers

    i would consider changing the strut tower bush just while your there. mine now make a slight noise after 30xxxkms on my kw k3 coilovers

    a wheel alignment will also be necessary : )

    enjoy your coilovers

    Thanks AussieT5

    I was thinking I would change them - hopefully relatively inexpensive.

    Cheers
