so in the next month im going to fit coilovers myself (cut springs atm) and im just wondering is there anything that i will need to replace aswell??

im fitting front and rear struts but just to save time instead of finding out when im half way through fitting, is their anything that NEEDs to be replaced??

any answers would be great, cheers!!

possibly top mounts... but you can check this now, or before fitting... open bonnet and check the two from there(silver/chromed disc/ washer like things with normally a rubber outer ring
if these are corroded or cracked, replacing them would be wise
bar this make sure u have wd40 handy as some nuts and bolts can be a pain
i would say spring clamps to release old springs but if youve already chopped them, then you must have a way of removing anyhow

good luck, and any more info just give us a shout, ive fitted so many sets to mates of mine tht i should almost be a proffessional suspesion fitter lol
