tracking is always fine - its the camber you should be worried about | |

it makes me laugh when people say 'that included them taking the old stuff out and putting the new stuff in' | |

I bought the shocks and springs from someone on here, not entirely sure if they provided me with new nuts. If they do then i may well do the rears myself too. Never thought of hacking the bastard off :thumbs: | |

oh just thought, if you have new shocks then just cut the nut off with a hacksaw, they should provide you with new ones :) | |

erm do the springs yourself, its a case of undoing the btoom of the shocks, taking the springs out and then putting them bk in, takes 10 mins top. | |

I just lowered my front 60mm today with apex shocks and springs and the tracking is fine. Just couldnt do the rear as the nut on the shock was hard to undo and was getting more and more fcuked the harder we tried to turn it. | |

did my whole lot in an hours, its dead simple, only slightly tricky, well not tricky just hard is the top nut on the front shocks, mainly because its done up so bloody tight. | |

Well thats the quote that I got for full suspension change, and just changing the springs really involves almost as much work, easier and quicker to do on the back but the front still needs compressing and shit. | |

The best quote I got was £100 that was for taking the standard shite off, then putting the new kit on, then tracking it. | |
