Do you get bumpstops with the kits?

No bumpstops, just put the old ones on.

In theory this group buy should be open until the 22nd of this month as it was on that date in march when the first person (me) paid. I'm sure if you rang them up a few days after the deadline they will probably still accomodate you.
If a few of you don't want some till a few months time, why don't you start another group buy, getting another five people should be pretty easy.


I posted details on the Eibach's previously, but didn't really want to organise it as I already have some!!
I have just created a new thread in the group buy section, if you want some please add your name to the list:
http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/showthread.php?p=4450235


Note that the part number I quoted was for the big rubber 'washer' that fits between the front top mounts and the springs, not the front top mounts themselves. You do not have these 'washers' on the back for some unknown reason.
Note also that you do not get the bumpstops with the kits, you have to use your old ones - and if they are worn out, what have you been doing!!??

Actually you do, and you have them at the bottoms of the springs also, sorry for any confusion!!

I am just in the process of doing mine and realised this when doing the second one - and then had to go back and take the first one back off again!

I'd advise cutting an 8mm wide slot (slightly bigger than the diameter of your brake lines) through the top of the hole that the brake lines pass through. Then in future if you need to take a damper off you don't have to bleed the brakes through.

I tend to get the job done right, though not right first time!!

You have the rubber washer type things at the top of all springs and at the bottom of the back springs only, sorry for any confusion!

Just got mine done

Took me 12hrs though!

A couple of tips for anyone:
If you can get a a decent non-ratchet extension bar because the 2 bolts hold the discs onto the bottom of the suspension is a bitch!
I sheared off a socket and broke a ratchet doing mine! ouch!
If you can get access to a compressor/impact gun and socket then do so, it will make life so much easier

Also, on the front, make a mark on the top bolt (on both sides) so you know where it was, its controls the camber so when you put it back on you can get it just right again

But its all worth it

Looks much nicer (put eibach springs on at the same time) and just feels so much better, and i havent even had the geometry done yet!

Cant wait for my brakes to turn up now!

12 hours!!!! It only took me about 8 and the fronts went on, then off, then back on again!!
I had taken the struts off a month or two before and greased the bolts. Plus I didn't have to bleed the brakes through as I cut a slot in the struts for the brake lines to fit through.
Glad you are pleased with them.

I found out after posting the above that they are available, post 15 gives you the part numbers for the new age KYB AGX's and post 19 gives you the group buy price.

Not sure how you think Southern Exhausts are the importers, but if you need some and reckon that they can do a better price than buypartsby then contact them and get a price, there is no harm in asking.

I know of someone else who was after these, so I'm sure you can get another group buy going if you want to.
