Progressed a bit further with the Coilover upgrade, yesterday.
Bilstein Fronts came off really well, KW fronts went back on just as easy then for reasons I still cannot understand my nearside front driveshaft decided to become detached at the engine joint, and just continue to give me grief for the rest of the day so that put me well behind with the job, in the end, I just gave up with it and put back on my OE shaft, not ideal but still better than the new Autodoc item.
The rears gave me some hassle as the KWs won't go in as easy as the H&R did, another strange one to be honest, still, a lowering of the subframe made enough room to get them in.
Adjusted the front ride height allowing for a 5mm approx settlement.
Rears are a real pain to adjust but luckily I didn't need to use too much of the available adjuster.
One small irritation was the missing grub screw from one of the adjusters so it couldn't be secured from rotating, managed to find suitable ones to choose from at my local fastener company.
before I started I took ride-height data from all 4 corners as a baseline for new ride heights, fronts were not even and can be seen in the pics, the rears were very low and the tyre is already inside the wheel arch with just an unladen car.
pics you can see the uneven rideheights.
So had a break from it today and did some gardening with a view of resuming tomorrow with fresh eyes etc and get it completed.
So far all in not a bad job, just the other issues that made it more irritating, was it worth it, hell yes as it will address that uneven front end and bring the back end up level again.
my phone ran out of power so couldn't get any more better pics but will do when it is on the ground all configured
