Fat-Tony Member 5,364 Member For: 19y 1m 14d Posted 18/07/06 12:28 PM Share Posted 18/07/06 12:28 PM Ok after looking at the car over I dont think this will be to hard a job. ive done a search but come up dry. The front looks pretty easy, undo the nuts on camber tops in engine bay, bolt at the bottom on the lower wishbone, pry it down and pull the shock and coil assembly out. looks the same as my wat my honda wasAny tricks here in doing this, have I missed something, or is there somthing some1 can add to make the job easier?Rear leafs, pretty self explanitory here, but how do you hold the car off the ground, and keep the diff in place while you remove the leafs? One side at a time, whislt the car is supported and then support the diff with a jack?Any help would be appreciated before I attempt this and risk arseing something up, I thought it doesnt cost much to ask firstCheers Adam Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/26978-lowering/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

DONT cut your own.... it aint the honda.... ... you got the front bit right...pete.........
