i'm trying to get them dirty so there not so "bling bling"
but the next door neighbour's cat keeps pissing on them!
so i've got a plastic bag and a river sorted
will get pic's tomorrow and try and sort out the squeaking, it even does it on idle sometimes just sitting at the lights!
the pedder's sport rider's are great, i used to have the pedder's comfort shocks in my old eb xr6, and for the little bit extra in cost, they make a huge difference! |

Just did the same modd to my au the other day and as many have already said i just fitted the new springs into the strut and locked in the hat as one unit then fitted the top as normal and the bottom needed a crank around about 15 degrees, just stuck a big screwdriver thru the bottom holes and turned, wasnt that hard at all.
R U trying to turn the shock against the spring or with it as mine was with the spring so that the step in the cup pressed onto the strut was cranked away from the end of the spring by about 5-6 mm, If u r going against the spring i would bet u would have some trouble, u could try to swap them left for right and maybe there is some diference.
Just a ? did u fit lowered struts with ur superlows or the factory struts as mine where about 40mm shorter at full compression?
Might be the diff with the fittment issues too. |

ah cheers for the feedback dude!
there stock struts, i ended up just turning the rubber in the top cap by eye. they went in fine. can i ask what springs you used mate? kings are a good price, but there fairly unforgiving, many people have said whiteline make a great spring, but is the price difference worth it... |

Yeah mate
King Springs super lows KFFL-57SL fronts and FFRL-27SL rears
Yeah cheapish, but i heard whiteline are the shizzle if u can afford em, particulaly their swaybars are aparently really worth the price |
