car is in the garage having coilovers fitted, also having new top mounts, bottom arm bushes and dog bone, anything else thats worth doing at the same time? car is a tdi 110. cheers
 
Make sure they grease the adjuster threads on the coilovers to stop them seizing in the future, but I think you have covered more than enough, generally people just replace the top mounts while the shocks are out. how low you going?
 
not very low mate, the front springs have sagged to about -25/30mm going to match up the rear. car is on 160 odd thousand so told mechanic to replace anything that looks suspect

The old springs have sagged? Are the coilovers new? Coilover springs shouldn't sag.. not noticeably anyway. Yes good idea about replacing worn bushes/mounts etc
 
yep will put some up, should be getting the car back sometime next week (hopefully)
 
Just had my Coil Overs fitted really happy with the results I've went down about 65mm front and 60 rear (or so I think) looks a tadd nose heavy but atleast I can reverse up things :p
 
AudiSlammedmuch better
 
it'll be worth chucking it into a garage to get it tracked back up pal, car looks good though :yes:
 
all done, £60 to fit coilovers, new top mounts, dog bone bush and do tracking. smooth
