Default 4x4 koni susp

how hard is it to swap the standard setup over to a koni sport kit ?

do the discs, callipers etc etc have to come off ????

would the car need the tracking etc doing again ?

cheers...............matt

it is easy .they do have to come off . UNDO BOTH DRIVE SHAFT NUTS THEN TAKE WHEELS OFF,UNDO BOTH TRACK ROD ENDS , BOTTOM BALL JOINTS AND ANTI ROLL BAR NUTS.USE A LONG BAR(SCAFFOLD IS GOOD) TO RELEASE BALL JOINTS.REMOVE CALIPERS BUT LEAVE HOSES ATTACHED.NOW UNDO TOP MOUNTS AND STRUT SHOULD COME OFF.NOW REMOVE HUBS.MIGHT NEED TO TAP HUB OFF STRUT.REVERSE PROCESS TO REBUILD. I DONE MINE 4 MONTH AGO TOOK ME ABOUT 3-4 HOURS BY MYSELF. EASIER WITH TWO THO. THE REARS ARE EASY BUT U NEED HELP TO LOCATE TOP NUTS. U DONT NEED TO TAKE DISKS OFF BUT I DO TO PROTECT THEM . THEY WILL HAVE 1 SCREW HOLDING THEM ON BUT THEY DONT NEED IT , I DIDNT BOTHER PUTTING MINE ON WHEN I UPRATED MY DISKS
