Re: My XB Coupe RestoMod
Next up for a test fitment where the shiny new adjustable coilovers that I have, again everything is from RRS so my assumption is that all of this kit should play nice together.
Now these do require a tiny modification to the top of the shock towers, here you can see the existing holes that hold the top of the shock mount
Well these existing holes aren’t used, so a 5/16 hole need be drilled in the end of the slot so like so
Then you can bolt the coilover in, now the kit comes with a plain steel top collar to spread the load of the bolts across the whole mount, but I won’t be using them as I have also bought the strut brace kit & because I’m a flashy git I also went of the bling tops to cover them
Installing the coilover is as simple as a 3 bolt installation of anything can be really
Then it was time to see how much effort it takes to install the strut brace, it’s a fiddly for a one man job as it’s under tension the whole time, you can’t adjust the tension once its installed
