Already lowered the rear - but tonight was planning to do the fronts...
Having read various threads there seems to be a few ways to do this, but the one which intrigues me is this:
*jack up car
*take off wheel
*Jack up axle / brake area
*clamp up the springs
*use swan neck spanner (& adjustable spanner / mole grips) to remove the piston bolt on the shock in the engine bay
*take off the two top mount nuts with 10mm spanner
*drop the jack holding the axle
....it all gets a bit vague from there on - I'm assuming doing it this way would allow me enough space to take the old spring off and put the new one on?
Anyone done it this way? or am I better off taking the shock off completely?
Bearing in mind I've got from now until it goes dark / chucks it down to get this done...
