Changing Suspension

[sukebe]

I tried this without success. what was your magic trick?

Persistence! From the 5 hours I reckon I spent 1hr scratching my head, 2hrs putting things in wrong and pulling them out again, and 2hrs actually doing the job. To crack the front strut nut I used a ring spanner on the nut and a star-like-allen-key-thingy that fits the inside of the top of the strut

Some of the places want $500USD to ship, plus you have to pay tax or GST or both. It would cost $2000 by the time they get here.

Yeah I messaged the WRD guys and said the shipping was at that mark I failed to remember the govt taxes involved with importing stuff that's >$1000 but you're right, it would end up being the same price if you did the purchasing and shipping yourself

Funny that, I did the same thing. However, mine was screwed on so bloody tightly before that the top of the strut that houses the hex key broke. Cue expletives

I took mine to Seb as I never had the time or tools for that matter he charged me $350 for the install. It took him a little over 4 overs possibly 5 I was too busy playing with my toy tank

Don't forget you will also need new strut mounts if you are changing the shocks might as well do it!!!

Mine are KW V2 stainless steel better than the limited edition ones as they didn't have them at the time!

If you have the no how and tools its a Sunday job really. A wheel alignment is always recommended though after putting cilovers in
