Scotty2Hotty Posted July 12, 2002 Report Share Posted July 12, 2002 I helped put coilovers on a 95 Jetta myself and let me tell you a pain in the ass I think I can get a spring compressor off of my friend, BUT there are some tools needed only for VW's. VW suspensions have been a bit of a pain in the ace. the Scirrocco sat in Jono's garage for a while, damn bushings and what not it was a full H&R coilover set-up, after it was finished the damn thing handled like it was on rails. ANywho let me talk to someone I know and I can get back to you on it. It'll take some time to do I can give you a fair warning, but shouldn't be too bad.

Scotty2Hotty Posted July 12, 2002 Report Share Posted July 12, 2002 No problemo, my friend with his 95 will probably help you if needed. He has the compressor and he knows where my other friend with the damn air wrench is cause he's got my ball joint separator. The front was easy as cake for us it was the back that was just stuck in solid. But I'll get back to you here soon. Peace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotty2Hotty Posted July 12, 2002 Report Share Posted July 12, 2002 Yeah the back is a BITCH trust me. I may also reccomend a torch and some bolt unlocker. They put lock tight on the threads usually on the back I think shock bolts and it's a bitch to get it off. A air wrench should get her off and all but you may have to soak it then heat it up then try. GOOD LUCK smile.gif Peace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
