spring is in the air

saturday 12/04/08, box of bits in the garage, lovely sunny day, what will I do? I know, ill fit the shocks and springs. This was the first time i had done this, so with haynes manual in hand and armed with all sorts of sockets, spanners, a big hammer and some wd40 i set to work! 3 hours later I had the front and rear shocks and springs done.















The apex kit lowers about 30 - 40 mm all round, which i think gives a nice stance. there is also a noticeable decrease in body roll and understeer, which is good.















Strut brace was next. This was a bit fiddly as it required moveing the battery back about an inch in its tray. but i got it on handily enough after that.















Next installement - Brake disks, lines and pads.
