Re: MK2b Sporting
replaced the front bolts so it should be a nice straight swap over
rears look ok and should just unscrew
£23 for the replacement bolts!!

Re: MK2b Sporting
I wanted them but they were £100 out of my price range lol.
I got some 50mm drop springs for £50 on eBay new which I was pleased about.
That would be great if you could

Re: MK2b Sporting
once ive done it once i should be able to manage it. Danny n tris have no doubt done this b4
not bad for £50 - are your shocks in decent condition?
might be worth getting a set of replacement bolts just incase the ones that are on are nackared
direct from fiat your looking at about £25 but theres probably cheaper places

On another note
The lovely windscreen wiper issue has popped up, mid rain storm
Wiper arms dropped off from the linkage so only 1 wiper works
superglued a 5p onto it so that should be a nice fix

lol If you'd seen me do mine you wouldn't want me touching your car
My dad reckons I could have done rears without taking alloys off

Re: MK2b Sporting
yup you dont need to take rear wheels off.
took me and my mate 10mins max to do the 2 rears. was a doddle.
fronts took a tad longer and then we got stuck for over an hour trying to budge a seized bolt. got it off eventually thou
