My little bro's best mate has bought himself a saxo vtr, and has asked Lee to fit it for him

how hard are they to do with it being a torsion bar?

there are instructions but might as well be talking swahili

Are they pretty straightforward? Anyone give us any tips?

The rears are actually pretty easy!

About 40 minutes and job done. Fronts are a pain in the arse though...

 

the front doesnt bother me, the springs look huge though

so whats the crack with having to measure bits

 

PS

Here is a how to!

Count the splines mate.

2 splines is 40mm, 3 is 60mm etc etc.

 

cheers, when i get stuck ill pm you

 

After you've done it you'll realise it's really a piece of piss!


The fronts are a different story

The strut IS the hib etc. I found it easier to compress the spring in situ and then drop the whole front assembly down and then get the new lowered spring on with everything still bolted up.. Except the top mount of course.

 

As Rab sais 1 spline = 20mm drop on the torsion bar as long as the torx bolt and offset washer are not siezed piece of piss .



Regards Doug .

 

front is a ball ache when the top mounts are siezed! as RAB said... drop the entire front down, then its easyter... its a ball ache to get the shock off otherwise...

 

The first time I did it. It took 40 minutes to do the torsion bars...


And 3 hours to do the fronts

Bastard stupid french cars
