John Posted July 18, 2003 Share Posted July 18, 2003 gonna flip the springs on sunday, i really want to laugh in DT faces about this one. well i hope it works out for u mate just be a little carefull when u take the strut tops off, although there is very little tension on the spring there is still enough in it to just flip it up if u don't apply a bit of pressure let us know how it goes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
