Yeh the rears seemed to go on ok but when he took the first front one out the original spring was snapped right at the top and they were a ****** to get out then the new ones were stubborn to get in. Felt really sorry for him he must have been as sick as a pig coz I was & it was for my car haha...
Oh god - my entire set took half a day - and by that I mean LITERALLY! We got home at 20 past midnight. In my bro-in-laws defence he had just come off a night shift and it was FREEEEEZING and he very thorough but after 8 hours I was over it - by 10 I didn't care anymore haha
Oh well an hour for...
Mine are exactly like the one in the video (above) but without that gap in the bottom arm cup that that guys car has.
Like I say they did wonder whether to put it in with the writing on the spring upside down but decided against it just incase.
Would certainly be of assisstance if FK put a...
I really don't like the back, the side still looks A3 ish and the front lights make it look all bug eyed like those chihuahuas that look a bit deformed - thats my impression and I'm sticking to it. :)
Its lost its identity maaaaaaaan - i'm liking my split grille a lot more than that! FTW
Orgh, gutted haha
Yeh! You might inspire a 'maddest thing you've had in the back of an A3' thread - (and no that doesn't include wives or girlfriends! haha)
Hey Fran! Unfortunately my adjuster is on the bottom of the spring sitting 'in' the bottom arm 'cup' - totally inaccessable unless the bottom arm is moved away - once they have been adjusted so that the adjuster/locking bolt is flush with the sides of the bottom arm it'l be fine to access but at...
Yeh its the rear - I'm really gutted about the difficulty actually - really seems to defeat the object of coilovers being adjustable and useful!!
I just wish my bottom arm was like the one in the video - ridiculous that its not :(
He watched them getting fitted and helped where he could so i'll ask him if that rings a bell - he said theres just no way to get the 'c' spanner in to turn the adjuster coz of the way the bottom bar comes up at the sides all the way round - it's really stressing me out coz we go camping through...
Hi
So as some of you may know I got my FK AK Street coilovers fitted on Saturday.
The plan was to let them settle for a week then adjust accordingly.
Problem is the rears have settled about 25mm and have (hopefully) stopped but is literally on its bum now - this is a major issue for me as...
Thanks! I was holding out until I had actually made progress haha Yeh they do have their uses lmao - (sorry boys!) The 'little useless girl' card is a great one to play in these instances! haha - however, he has been rewarded with a takeaway and some Wheel Whores stickers! lol
Fingers crossed...
Hey Peeps!
So now that I've got all the bits I need ready to start making changes I thought I should start a thread.
I got the car in September last year - first day home....out with the old, in with the new :)
The first thing I did (3 weeks later) was get those horrid standard wheels on...
