OK, so its time to change the suspension on the Tamora.

Not being anything other than a novice when it comes to mechanics, is it a job you would undertake yourself?

I know the wheel alignment needs to be checked once the new coilovers are in, but would you do the spanner work yourself?

Basically is it an easy job for a novice?

Cheers

Yes simple enough job but if you are having it set up by a professional why not let them fit the units for peace of mind

Easy to do except when problems happen like the shock bush sleeves being seized onto the bolts. If yours is in good order then should be ok if not are you prepared /tooled up for removing stuck bolts etc.

Thanks for the replies guys.

I'll take a look at the options and see which way to go.

Quite fancy dong it myself I must admit!!

But then you are only as good as the s**t you can dig yourself out of!
