Hmm, are the both cars multiplexed/non-plexed? If the other one is plexed and the other isn't this might (and probably will) cause some problems.

I guess you mean the trailing arm to axle shaft bearings? It's not so bad if you know what you're doing. Only thing is that because they have gone to that point when the wheel starts having camber the ... |

16mm is the size of the socket (long one, preferrably with a rubber piece or a magnet inside that holds the spark plug in place) needed. Nothing special about it, disconnect the coilpack, it is held i ... |

It's all about the weight of the front end, engine and gearbox to be exact. Different engines with their gearboxes weight different amounts and the springs meant for the whole packet are "tuned" to ho ... |
