Title: Front shocks
Post by: Dave Elite on 18 February 2010, 18:43:41

I orderd some front bilstein b4 shocks from balancemotorsport.com as per Marks advice. I ordered them yesterday and they arrived this morning. I have just fitted one this afternoon, and I'm going to do the other one tommorow. Just thought I'd let people know that its quite an easy job to do. Its not worth letting a garage do it. Dave

Easy task, only special tool is spring compressor.

I would highly recommend you get the camber checked afterwards.  If you do choose to ignore that advice, keep a very close eye on tyre shoulder wear, particulalry inside edge

Yes I'm getting it reset, I just set it in the middle until I get it done.
