all I remember was that the fronts where a major PAIN IN THE ASS when I was doing suspension, there's just very little room to work with!

Sev, why do you remove the upper arm in the rear?

Thanks very much for this post.
It should be in under the hood FAQ.

Thanks for this info.

I have my car up on stands tonight in preperation for the spring swap. I tried to put a 17mm wrench on the 2 bolts for the A-arm, but I can't get it to budge. Are these a real bugger to get off or is something wrong?

What do you mean by the A arm 9grand?
Do you mean the upper or lower one?

If it's the upper one, then you will have to get a longer spanner for more leverage. I think the manual say to retorque it back to 76 foot pounds.

Yeah I ment to say the upper. I gave it a squirt of liquid wrench and an extra grunt on the wrench and they came loose.

This is going to be easier than I thought. Cool!

I will be lowering my car this weekend with the kg/mm race springs. I was wondering if any of you have modifed the bump stops at all? I thought it was usually a "must do"when lowering the car?
