How long does it take to swap suspension in a VRS?

Featured Replies

I may choose to go back to standard suspension instead of coilovers. The coilovers were on the car when I bought it so I didnt do the swap myself. I was wondering how long I should be expecting it to take on the drive? and if I were to pay a garage, how many hours labour do you think I would be expecting to pay for?

Thanks in advance

I paid 1.5 Hours labour to fit my coilovers. and they set the ride height.

just the front? bout an hour per side.

Thanks for the quick responses guys.

No, front and back. I have fully adjustable weitecs (sp?) on there at the moment. The thing is, I have a supercharged track mx5 for fun, so it seems a waste having such a sweet set up on something I always drive in mpg mode. I have the mx5 for when I want to go fast.

Anyway, I digress.

Both front and back to be swapped, and the one thing I am told, but havent confirmed is that the original top mounts are used. Is this correct? The standard suspension I have sourced second hand doesnt have the top mounts with it, the seller said he used them with his coilovers.

Correct Std top mounts on the car.

even though it is your MPG car i would say stil leave them on as the std sus is not as nicer ride as the Weitecs. (when there not knocking)
