    coilover fitment

    I done what your going to do and didnt need spring compressors , but a strong pair of hands might come in handy as you will need to push down on the wish bone or rear beam whilst at the same time pulling the old shock out or puting the new ones in. Also a tip make shore you take note of how the top mounts fit in place. Also if you have the VW suspension tool that will make things hell of alot easyer, if not you want one of thos 7mm caliper allen keys with the handle the right size socket ( sorry cant remember which size) and a pair of mole grips. Put the socket on the top mount and clamp it really well with the mole grips. and use the allen key to hold the coilover piston in place whilst you tighten the bolt up with the socket and mole grip combo. unless you have access to a welder then you can just weld a bar to the socket 8)

But I was having a good look around your car the day after it arrived at DG and must say it was looking good and I can remember the noise it made at the RR day :shock: :luvlove: Best of luck and I'm shore you know its in the best hands to get it fixed
  9. Might be worth checking the head light switch wiring just to make shore its not that and to be on the safe side.
