Bought myself some Tein springs for xmas and got the fronts fitted today but just need a couple of questions answering.

I notice that the front lower shock bolts don't have nyloc nuts on them - do these need some thread lock on them to stop them working loose? (My old golf had nyloc's on but still ended up applying thread lock to stop them undoing!)

Plan on doing the rears tomorrow (weather permitting!) - before I pull the car completely to bits how do I access the shock top mountings/what needs removing?

Also fitted new drop links front+rear which are looking good. Rear whitline ARB on its way - just need ALK then its off to Carnetix for alignment.

Can't remember wether Nyloc or not but either way I would use threadlock on these nuts.
Did you mark the bots as one of them[lower I think] is oval shaped and should go back in exactly how it came out. Get alignment done soonest.

The rears are accesed inside the car under a plactic cover. Can be quite akward and an aray of 10mm? sockets spanners are needed.

Did you chop the bump stops?

Thanks for responses.

No thread lock is going to be applied as per carnetix who are going to do the alignment.

Bump stops not trimmed - instructions say they need trimming for some cars but not mine.
