Coilover Install - Specialist, Garage Or Me?

[Jimxms]

Right guys, I've managed to rape the bank account for a set of BC Racing coilovers. However as always in this crappy country, trying to get someone who doesn't either say "oh no, not aftermarket parts" or "ooooh yes, that'll be £80p/h" to install them is the tricky bit!

I may have struck gold with a local garage though that are offering to install them and do some basic alignment for ~£200. My only worry though is that they are just a bunch of greasy wrench monkeys. So all i imagine they will do is take the old ones off and fit the new ones without any 'setting up'.

So what I guess I'm asking is, I know damper settings can be adjusted easily enough, but how about height? Do the wheels need to come off to get to them? Is there any way I can pre-set them before they get installed?

Or is this a job that a mere mortal such as myself with only a socket set could accomplish on his own?

Do it yourself mate. Really isnt that hard if you have the slightest bit of common sense

You will likely need more than your socket set though :P

You mean that my "Tomy My First Screwdriver Set" won't do the job? Daamn

Seriously though, I've got a breaker bar, torque wrench plenty of sockets and deep sockets. Anything else needed?

Ahh just thought. I dont have axle stands :(
