Hiya guys

Right I've been meaning to deck the back of the VRS more for a long time now and because I don't know how much of a job it is and what's involved its sort of put me off a little

I know a lot of people have done this. I would just like some advice or even better, a step by step guide

What tools are needed? Do I need spring compressors??

Any help woul be much appriciated

Are you wanting to remove the adjusters or just adjust them so they are lower?

1. Get car on axle stands

2. Position jack under spring or damper bit of the suspension arm

3. Undo damper bolt

4. Lower jack

5. Then depending on what setup you have at the moment

- Lower the adjuster with a C spanner

or

- Wiggle free the spring and remove the ring of the adjuster

or both

(You may need to unbolt the whole adjuster cup if it is attached to the spring platform underneath)

6. Re-seat the spring on the adjuster

7. Raise jack to reinsert damper bolt

8. Lower car off axle stands

You shouldn't need spring compressors only a decent socket set, axle stands and a trolley jack

@DanHam - Take them off completly pal

And cheers Matt. That sounds easy enough. If I was going to go and take advantage of goin to ma mates work with ramps and that I guess would be a bit quicker and easier?

Guess get it on the ramp and higher it a bit then get the jack under the damper? Will the spring not just fly out?

What coilies are they??

Mine was mega low all the way down with the adjusters still in on the rear lol!

Can't remember pal. Half decent ones anyway

Mines wound all way down at ye back and it no way near matches the front and they arnt even all the way down

Ahh makes sense then mine are FKs. Got 17 more turns on the rear and all the way down on the front and the front doesn't really match the rear.

If you got it on a ramp you could use a transmission rest or something like that. It would save crawling round on the floor specially now its cold!

Putting the jack underneath it is just to let the spring slowly extend and without taking the load off the damper bolt I doubt you could get it out very easily

my mates is like that on his fks . . mines the opposite on weitecs haha :-$
