Right, I have a kinda basic idea on what I am doing, it cant really be that hard to be honest. Thing is would be good for someone to point me in the direction of a little guide on how to do it, basically so I know I am doing it right.

The other thing is once the suspension has been fitted and I am sitting 60mm lower what will I have to get checked on the car to make sure everything is set up properly, by this I mean things like tracking. Not sure what else would be adjusted, and how much would I expect to pay for such checks??

Cheers people.

Bet you all thought I was gonna ask if my wheels would rub if I lowered my car

ive never adjusted anything on mine and ive lowered it on several different setups, it doesnt pull to one side and shake the steering wheel or have uneven tyre wear so i havent bothered.

Ah right, so I may be lucky then.

Its just that I originally wasn't going to do it myself, so I spoke to a garage and they quoted £100 including £20 worth of tracking etc. Well i thought that was too much so bought a spring compressor for £20 and going to do it myself this week off from college. Should looks sweet.

Antscorsa do you mean your tracking was done for £25 or the suspension was fitted for that price??
