its easy as
get your car on stands
take off the wheels
take the caliper off
take the bearing cup off
take out the split pin
take off the nut
take of the disc and bearings keeping them free of dirt
then take the split pin and nut off the ball joint tap on the side of ball joint until it comes out
then take the split pin and nut off the tie rod end
take off the three bolts in engine bay
remove strut
compress spring undo the top nut in the strut top bearing plate youll need a long socket
take the spring off
then theres a big hex nut/plate youll need multi grips remove and fit shocker
then re assemble everything ive just explained
when you remove the wheel bearing remember how tight the nut is because they arnt ment to be tight

I AM NOT RESPONSEABLE FOR ANYONE THAT USES THIS ADVICE AND ****S THERE CAR UP

You can od it much easier Take caliper of the rotor, disconnect the ti rod arm, the lower arm, undo strut tower bolts,
n u can drop it
and wheel it around on the rotor

Interior Interior Interior. Got to find some material to re-trim the doors. Then finish taking the purple tinting off (can't stand it, thats the second car i've had with the same purple tinting).

And then just wait until next year for rego :D so that i can drive the car to other specialist places to finish the rest of the plans off.

Didn't want to find out one day from a cop that my rims exceed the +2" rule :D And i think they fit the car much better. But i did like the other rims too, can't have both :)

Can't drive a V8 yet, so waiting till next year. If only i did not stay on red P plates for so long, i'd be able to drive it in June this year :(

Ah fair enough, that makes sense. So did you get suspended or something? Caught doing burnouts? :p

Lol no never done anything like that on the road. I just stayed on my red P's for a year and a halve instead of one year (was to busy to go for greens) and that means and will be finishing my green P's next year (January)

But I've never had any sort of police trouble and my record is 100% clean :D
