    Changing from Springs to Coilovers

    Guys,

    My car is currently running on -50mm springs and i want to change them over to GAZ height adjustable coilovers. What i want to know is what else should i be changing when i do it? bushes? anti-roll bar? top hats etc etc....

    cheers

    It's definitely worth changing top mount bearings and you'll need a Gaz 'Top Spring Seat Adaptor' if it doesn't come with the kit.

    Obviously it makes sense to overhaul the rest of the suspension while your changing the struts, with new bushes (poly or standard) and maybe the lower ball joints too.

    There's not too much that goes wrong with the rear end other than wheel bearings wearing.
