    Lowered springs - how to fit

    Hi All,

    I pick up some new springs this arvo and I was wondering if its a job for home or one best left to the profesionals. I've never fiddles with suspension before, but I couldn't imagine it being too hard. Has any one done on a mk4 before?

    Hey Neil,
    I can give you the run down when we meet tonight. Its a bit of a cow. Hardest part is getting the struts out of the hub. A special tool is needed to un clamp the hub from the strut.
