coilovers

right now im goign to pick some up soon within the next 2 weeks the guy says they are brand new and he has an invoice to proove it. but how can i check they are still ing ood workign order with out them being fitted?

They should be ok Shaun just check the paintwork around the bolts to see if they have been fitted before. You will notice a big difference when they are fitted.

thanks martin guy recons he hasnt even opened the box

They should be fine then Shaun. I add this with the knowledge that I may be flamed but make sure whoever fits them addresses the other issues and makes sure the general balance is right.

ill be fitting them myself and what do u mean general balance? ill be taking themt o my mechanic after iv fitted them for him to see fi the camber and allt hat is right but he recons it should all be pre-set

How much are you dropping it Shaun. I had mine done by a specialist company because I am a muppet. It took them a while to get the balance of the car right.

will do it about 30 or 40 till the car is all done then ill drop it as much as i can lol ill just give it a go done plenty of suspension kits so coilovers cant be that hard lol

Just remeber that about 305 off the uk roads will be a no go then. When I left the last meet I ended up in St Annes trying to get to the M6 :cry:

and urs was only 30mm lol

my astras been dropped over 100mm on coilovers and it doesnt scrap that much !!!! but if you do just remember a sump gaurd might come in handy
