Cheers. Stopped for a while. Bought a new MTB so been buying gear for that and spending time & money on that. Yeah quite hard if they've never been moved. Wrap a cloth round them so not to scratch it and use a pair of grips or something. If your twisting correctly (doesn't matter anti or clockwise) it should eventually come off.

Finally got round to ordering a suspension kit to get it lower. Nothing major, just 60mm all round.
Watch this space!

lol. I said it would come. Just a little later than planned. buying a house slowed it down a bit. Also the MTB didn't help.

Just had to fork out for VW to replace the usual suspect, The Pedal Box! Drives a lot better now though. Must have been on its way out for ages.

Well here's a couple of pics of my suspension. Booked in for tomorrow to be fitted and then laser aligned and camber corrected.

I was intending too but by the time i've paid the garage to align them it didn't cost that much more to do the whole lot. I also wont have the worry that i've done it wrong waiting for one of them to collapse! Also this way I get it done by tomorrow lunch time

Yeah not many do 60mm drops with kits. Most have collies on a 80-100mm drop. Picking car up in an hour.
