Lowering Spring Install SA

Postby Maxibon » Tue Jul 21, 2015 11:10 am

Hi All,

Fairly new to the club after just purchasing a 2009 Ralliart Sportback.

I am looking to purchase a set of low King Springs in the next week or two and I'm wondering how difficult it is to fit them as I'm not exactly mechanically minded but know my way around a workshop.

Basically I'm looking for someone / somewhere reasonably priced to fit them otherwise someone with good knowledge to assist me in fitting them myself happy to pay or shout a few beverages!

also will I need anything other than just the new springs for lowering 30mm?

I wasn't sure about posting this here or in the suspension thread but figured since I'm looking for somewhere in SA figured this would be the better option.
Thanks.

Maxibon.

You will NEED a spring compressor and want power tools.
without a spring compressor to do this safely you run the risk of injury and damage.
Not to mention you will need to compress the new springs to put them on...

Here is a fantastic write up if you do decide to take the DIY approach.
note: that this was for specific springs, and you may not need to trim the bumpstomp
