coilover fitting questions

Featured Replies

Just picked up some weitec hicon gt coilovers from someone on here. .

not gonna fit till after winter. . but in the meantime gonna get any bits.i may need. . .

Are new top mounts or shorter drop links necessary?. . .or another parts i might need?

Cheers :-)

Top mounts are recommended, the drop links really depends on how low you go. IF you drop too much you'll get your ARB rubbing on the driveshafts.

Well its on -25mm springs atm but still has arch gap of about 30mm so i wanna get that down . Going more for stance than real low. . .coz my wheels sit nice and wide upto the arches :-)

I would advise new top mounts because then you can take the front struts of as a whole and not dismantle them like I did which ruined them. Also you might as well get some shortened drop links, apparently from tas the 96-00 modeo ones do the trick and there £14 for the pair of eBay which I have just done because one of my shortened ones have fallen out so these ones I'm going to put some lock tite on :) and apart from that you will need lots wd-40 or similar :) then get some pics up
