Coil overs came today :D Glad.

Gonna fit them next weekend with a mate of mine, is there anything i should buy this week to replace whilst im doing it? I've read a few things about replacing things whilst im fitting coilovers

if so , please list and if possible tell me where to purchase!!

Thankyou and ill be adding pics as soon as shes on her ***!
 
Top mounts would be a good idea.
And maybe drop links if they haven't been changed before
 
ID polybush the wishbones!,if your goin that low with it and you don't,it will cost you more in the long run with changing standard bush's!
 
My list is as follows as im doing this at the weekend all been well.

Lcr top mounts
New nuts and bearings
Drop links front and rear
Defcon and powerflex along with solid tt bushes for the front wishbones
New stretch bolts and nuts for wishbones

Also got new front and rear powerflex arb bushes along with steerig rack bush but ill fit these some over time.
 
The top mounts and bearings would be easier while you have it apart and don't want to spend too much. The rest can be done just as easily another time.
 
thanks everyone really appreciate the comments

yeah my budget is little low so maybe i'll gow ith sam with top mounts and bearings, how much will this come to? everything else i'll end up doing in the end
 
All depends on where you buy your bits from really mate :) try eurocarparts? GSF? Tps?

Yeah defo get some pics up ASAP! How low you thinking of going?

low as i can mate.... but ive read a lot that i can't go lower than 40-45mm without changin arb, so ill lower it to that , see what i feel.. if im not feelin it i'll go get a TT arb but i'd rather not. i think 45mm drop on 18 inch wheels shud be enough
 
I'd try all 3 places and those eBay wishbones are a very good buy. Mine was on 18" rs6 reps and was roughly 40-45mm drop and it sat really nice lol :) keep us posted how you get on mate!
