Picking them up in the morning and hopefully the new bearings and bolts will be here in the morning too.

Dont think I'll get them on over the weekend so its prob gona be thursday/friday of next week before I can get them on.

Handling will be transformed since you saw it last time mate. Whiteline rear ARB + Seat Sport front strut brace + Coilovers =

Cool! yeah will be mint once there fitted etc!! nice healthy drop all round too ARB's and braces are on my list next i think..you've set me off now haha!

I'm not gona drop it on its arse because of the roads where I live, pluss speed bumps when I visit family. Prob only about 30mm at first till it settles in then get 4 wheel alignment and take it down about 40-50mm.

Yea it will still look better but I'm after function over form, even though my hand was pushed...

Still like a kid at christmas though

Thanks, Danny .

Got my coilovers and other bits now but I cant get on with fitting as I've put my back/neck out and can hardly move

And Theres no excuse for quality lol Fit them and recover later...FTW

 

[Damoegan]

I need to pop into work and get a few bits and pieces tomorrow so I might give it a go when I get back.

 

[Damoegan]

Right, I have got the rears on and put the Whiteline rear ARB on the stiffest setting

Problem with the fronts though. I cant get the standard droplinks off as I dont have the right size allan key at home so I'll have to get one when I'm back to work tomorrow and give it another go on thursday/friday again.

[Gooner_Mike]

Nice and shiney... not for long though I bet!

 

[DPJ]

Very nice.

 

[Damoegan]

Right, I've given up on trying to fit the fronts as I'm in to much pain with my back/neck (pain is starting to travel down my arm now so I think I might have a traped nerve or something) so I'm getting the gf's brother inlaw (he's a mechanic) to do it after I finish work tomorrow.
I hate giving up on jobs

 

[DPJ]

Sorry to hear that Damien.

 

[Damoegan]

Thanks Dave.
Its just so frustrating. Got all bolts loose today but did'nt have the strength to actualy get the bottom of the strut out of the hub due to shooting pain in my left arm/sholder

Hopefully they will be on tomorrow tea time...

The pain's always worse when you have to reach into something.

I somehow tore the rotor cuff in my shoulder about 18 months ago - not quite healed yet.

Tell me about it mate. Did'nt help the fact I was putting up some 7m moblie scafolding at work yesterday and climbing up and down it just to change a few light bulbs

Sounds painfull Dave, how did you manage to do that?

 

[DPJ]

Absolutely no idea. As you don't feel it normally, I can stretch without thinking and the pain is excruciating.

They say it usually takes 12m+ to mend if you don't damage it again on the way.

 

[Damoegan]

Thats not good mate.

I'm even in pain picking a bottle of beer up off the floor...
