I'll have to check into it once the struts are fitted.

Cheers for the help.

may well need spacers to clear the strut unless the wall of the tyre doesnt come out too far...

dean, what offset & size are your wheels??

I ran ET38 15" with 195/45 tyres, needed no spacers

GSi Alloys, standard tyres n shit, needed 5mm spacers

I was just wondering about that.

3mm or 5mm?

Nice one Paul. I wasn't sure if the top part goes like that or the other way up.

I have some bump stops on the shocks already, thanks for the offer. I know what i'll be doing on Wednesday :D

like that it should be...

bump stop on the shock, the plastic sleeving over it, the black bit with the spax then on the rod, and the original topmount at the top like that

if you dont have any bumpstops i think i have some spare but im unsure where abouts & also im not back in northwich for a while...

Paul - I have 2 shocks, 2 spring tops and 2 other pieces. I think I know how they go, just need someone to clarify as i don't have destructions.

Phil - Thanks for the pointe,r but i need to know where each part goes.

I think you put the spring top on, then the other part, then the rest of the top mount as usual :boggle:

I bought a coilover kit second hand. I'm unsure of how to fit. Can anyone help?
