calling all suspension install experts

Going to install a set of kw v2s in my r56 and was wondering if i can get and tips or pointers in doing it the right way. On my GTI it took me about 2-3 suspension installs to get it perfect. Im looking for pointers like, certain parts to grease, certain bolts need to be replaced or loc tite needed, certain part needs to be replaced, any kind of adjustments, basically anything to look out for so i can do it right the first time. If anything needs to be torqued to spec please let me know. I am just installing the coils, no camber plates or arms. thanks for any advice!!

Sorry mate - Turner Motorsports does mine.

(A man has to know his limitations)...

More power to you.

Two words though... corner weighting.

Kind regards,

Charlie
