Suspension Enhancement Kit S1 to S2

[goodwoodweirdo]

I’ve brought the S2 kit for my 98 S1.. anything I should do before fitting it; eg painting the spring caps … any special advise regarding fitting the kit… I’ve had a general look at the rest of the suspension, looks OK just bloody rusty…



Cheers

New Bolts for the top and bottom of the shock.

If you've got new mounts, give them a coat of Duralac on the surface that will touch the chassis. This will stop the two different metals reacting with each other.

If the rust is a concern you could consider giving the wishbones the Por15 treatment while you have access. Should be doable in situ.
