Brilliant video, I’ve had my Mountune springs about a year now, not had the confidence to try and fit them, I have now seeing you just do it. Fantastic, thank you. :)
Enjoyed watching that Steve ..well presented

Michael Cosgrove cheers. I'm looking forward to it. Few more jobs to do on the car first but it will be ready. Thanks for watching.
Maerdy mountain is beast .. love the springs too
Here in USA fiesta owners would kill for those clear headlights. They are perfect.
Good vid fella, I was well pleased how they made our car fell too, without a doubt one of the best mods you can do to a mk7 fiesta ST :-)

Nice touch with the suspension mountings - think I’d better seal up the ones on the 170, may as well it some springs on while I’m there!

Spark Plug Steve, I had a mk1 fabia. 1.9 diesel,only 130bhp but 235lbs of torque. I miss the economy and the shifter feel and lift off oversteer and the understated looks. I do love the fez on B roads though
Bilt hamber is a great rust preventer they do it in clear
Bonsoir 👋 je voudrait savoir comment et la conduite ? Super vidéo 👍❤️
I would say get a roll cage but as it’s also the family car maybe a roll bar for next time
Hi Steve just wondering what mm drop these springs are? 35mm/40mm?? Great video btw. Thank you.

Scott Adcock Yeh soon be here. Can't decide on what to do for brake pads yet. On my track car I run ds3000 but for the fiesta I want less aggressive pad. Iv heard mintex m1144 is equivalent to ds2500 but much cheaper. Iv run 2500 in the past but not mintex. Decisions? Help.

Spark Plug Steve haha I was on a trackday and had done 25 laps on them ,replacing brake pads out there cost me over 400 euros to buy and fit as nothings standard and they charge for it so I won’t have that happen again 🤔tbf steve if your there just for tf then standard should be ok just depends on how many laps you want to do ?
How hard/stiff was it? If so?
Just stumbled across your channel and I have been loving all the videos mate - subscribed 💯 was just wondering tools you used when loosening the bolts? Not the alankey and ratchet but the electrical one cheers :)

Just a quick one Steve.......Watched all your vids and im a Sub..............When you put the new springs on surly just tightening the nut would split the seal on the dampener....(spin the center rod when tight)....possible seal break.......aka new strut needed? im just asking because im looking to upgrade mine. Cheers

The rod can rotate freely anyway. Thays why there's a Allen head on it so you can stop it spinning if you were tightening with a spanner

Watch for rust on the springs. I'm trying to get mine replaced.
I have a set of these so watching to refresh myself. Why again did you get rid of these for coilovers? Did they completely mess the geometry and handling?

No they don't ruin it but they don't improve it either in my opinion. Not for track use anyway. Fine for the road but junk on track.
