I was going to say you can do it by removing the lower damper bolt and forcing the arm down, we had to do that on Rich's lowered rallye when his rear mounts were fooked. Bit of a ball ache, the nearside, in comparison the off side was a 10 minute job...________________________________________ 1999 Astor Grey GTi-6 OEM+ (now gone...)2004 Aegean Blue 206 GTi 180 (also gone...) 2006 Skoda Fabia vRS in Sprint Yellow honestly3k wrote: Do you wrestle for a living matt?

Nah it's only the near side because of the position of everything. The VTS axle was at standard height which is about 25mm lower than a 6 one.________________________________________ Black power baby!
