yes you can make lower arms adjustable  it does involve abit of cutting and drilling but it can be done a couple on here have done it i think as with the springs if ur taking the whole unit out then no but if you are swapping springs over etc then yes |

Get polybushes, get the geometry set up properly. Its usually when the lowering sends the tracking out, bushes in the lower arms perish and furthur fuck it up, happened to me twice now. And with the polybushes they can take alot more than standard bushes. So lower it, fit polybushes and get the tracking done. |

sweet. danny, my threads were caked in dirt and some squashed mate, hence why i couldnt adjust it by hand. built up my first one lol, going to be a long ass day! do i fit them with the shock extended or compressed? |

Ahh right, well in that case i would have just either got a c spanner or something else like adjustable grips and wound the adjuster down, it would have fixed the thread then. Fit what with the shock compressed/extented? Springs? |
