Makes the job of removing the rubber much easier. On ya FIST crew! <{POST_SNAPBACK}>Thanks Mikas.I bought a couple of cans of WD40 last week. <{POST_SNAPBACK}>I tihink we will offer a free car wash for you too Phil that car was dirtier that my old ute I gave you for a loaner....jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't getting the "misfire" prob's that some others are reporting. These symptoms tend to suggest that the springs got soft after a few months.

Can get it done cheaper now days and better quality springs too as I didnt get these ones fitted only the v8 springs done...jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
