For the protection of coilovers, i've been recommended silicon grease but looking at Phil's tutorial i can use lithium grease. will lithium grease do the same job because i can't find silicon grease anywhere

Andy, you can use pretty much anything, Copper slip will do the same job.

you'll know next time then

as long as you keep the threads covered in something which keeps the rain off, they'll be fine.

I used JCB grease in my tutorial. Don't be shy, Slap it on get them nice and coated!

Wheels should fit ok. Just mind the tops of the tyres on the Shocker. With the adjustable camber malarky! Mine rubbed and shredded a half work Toyo
