what size socket,s do i need for the rear drive shaft to hub nuts and also are the front ones the same size, if not what size are they? Thanks.
Lastly what is the best way to change the rear springs without having to disconect the rubber brake pipe hoses, Can it be done or should i just bite the bullet. i want to fit some lowered springs the ones i have are Eibach Federn part no.s EW3503201VA and EW3503202HA any body know the spring rates and how much they will lower the car?

 

rear nuts 41mm
front nuts 30mm

 

As above.

damn them odd 41mm rears

 

apart from the obvious bits,disconnect the rear brake t piece from the car,the bolt will prob be rusted so give it a good soaking of wd40 etc,disconnect the rear drive shafts joints at the outer ends then you can carefully lower down the arms and brake pipes without having to undo the brakes pipes them selves,the eibachs will drop it around 40mm or so

 

and one side goes round the wrong way to undo

 

why not just get them reworked, down to 36mm.
