BC coilover install

[Zacariah Ashby]

hey guys how hard is it to install coiloverz and what tools would i need? wanting to get rid of the shitty d2s that are in there and hopefully have a better ride instead of bouncing out of my seat

14mm socket for the top and 17mm socket and spanner for the bottom. And a 12mm for the front brake line brackets.
Piss easy to do.
Hardest part is getting the ride height how you want it.

The bottom ring which locks it or what?

Take a picture to show us which part you mean.

[evo-gsr]

Use the c spanners to undo the lower one first..?

 

[Zacariah Ashby]

when i do the whole coilover turns with it

 

[evo-gsr]

Use one c spanner to hold the top ring and the other one to undo the bottom one mate.

 

[Zacariah Ashby]

and yes i was dum enuf to loosen the very top ring

 

[evo-gsr]

Tighten it back up to to bottom of the spring and follow the method above.

 

[Zacariah Ashby]

[Zacariah Ashby]

carnt seem to fit the brake lines up to them eithr

When you're trying to loosen the top rings, make sure that you're holding the top ring with one C-spanner to stop it from moving and rotating the second ring anti-clockwise (left) with the other C-spanner...

Also, do you have braided brake lines? Depending on what brand they are you may not be able to make them fit without modding the mounting bracket...
