[Dom the chef]

They rubbing on the wheelkcase. When I hit a bump or drive up and down hill. At the edge of the kerb (slow of course). Ill try to post some pics.

forget about the pice. Put 16" on because I must tow approx 1800 - 2000 kg more often. Do I have to change springs? If yes, which brand and type do you recommend?

I just put super lows in the rear of my vt sedan does that mean I have to put new shockers in aswell for them not to fall out or should it be fine ? ( have drove it for at least 2 hours since put in the super lows )

Hey guys so do you have to use spring clamps for the front springs?

Hey guys so do you have to use spring clamps for the front springs

 

[FATMOE]

Of course you do, unless you don't mind it expanding and hitting you.

Yes, you use spring clamps for the fronts, but only once there out of the car. You can take the whole strut/spring unit out of the car first, then use the spring compressors to hold spring when removing strut tops.

If you don't want to reuse the rear springs just take a grinder to them. I wish I did. It was a pain to get them out even with spring compressors
