Change Bora Suspension

[qsilverza]

Hey,

I have some suspension that I want to put in my Bora, how hard is it and what tools do you need ?

Given I would be doing it on jacks and have never changed suspension before but I am pretty keen to do it.

Just wondering how likely I am to stuff something up ?

Anyone got any links to a good guide ?

I'm about to do a similar thing myself - check out the thread I started in the suspension forum.

Exactly what are you replacing, and are you replacing with stock parts or something different? I've got K-Sport coilovers to put in, I'm tossing up whether to install the ECS Stage 2 front suspension refresh kit or to go with KMAC's front & rear package...

Will do.

Replacing with R32 Stock Suspension not doing the bushes or anything yet, will do next time along with control arms and dog mount at a workshop as I dont think i could do the pressing in

Look forward to hearing how much better the R32 susp feels/performs

I'm definitely interested in hearing how the stock R32 suspension goes in the Bora.

I'd really look at doing at least the strut tops - from what I've read they fail regularly due to what people think is a poor design. It would be worth having a look at the other bushes at the same time regardless - there's no point putting shiny new suspension into broken bushes!

Valver has already done it on his. I think he was happy for the price paid, I mean it's not going to be anywhere near as good as coilover's but I am hoping it will improve it enough to keep me happy for a while

Besides all the good stuff is going into my race car yipppe
