Very helpful video man. I really appreciate it especially when there is hardly any 'how to' videos on the topic. If i may add a couple of things: 1) with both sway bar links disconnected as per your advice fit a block of timber to push down on the sway bar so it doesn't push against the cv axle. (It caused mine to dislodge from the tranny & leaked oil or perhaps the hub assembly tilted too far away from the car) 2) turn steering wheel slightly to the left if doing left front as it prevents hub assembly tipping forward when fitting strut back in. Cheers

Does turning it really help for how much the assembly tips forward? How much did you turn your wheel?

thanks for taking the time to make this video!

This helped me a lot thank you

I followed step by step, how do you have so much play? Cant seem to pry out the strut or have much play at all.

Thanks for watching! Hope it helps.

Great video. Were these FK8 specific H&R springs?

so for something like .75 to one inch you dont need cambers? only asking because when i wanted to purchase eibach ones the page mentioned that the i needed them.

Getting a camber kit would help if you need more adjustment than the stock suspension allows. I definitely recommend getting an alignment done after having any suspension work done as well.

I'll probably never lower mine, as it scrapes enough around town at stock height. But thanks for the info!

@user-gz9tq9fo5b not even pot holes just driving around town. Turing onto side street that have an incline. Some of them pretty extreme which I try and avoid. It would scrape on my drive way if lowered...

Do you still have the same issue with the axel popping out on the driver and passenger side as with the fk8?

How’s the ride feeling of H&R springs?

This way works for fk8 too? Especially the front?

How did you get it up on jacks lol

Low profile ramps or blocks.

Wait so you never had to remove the ball joint using the ball joint seperator tools?? My Fk8 is giving me hard time and it only have like less than half an inch until its loose

On the FL5 I did not have to touch any of the ball joints in front. I honestly don't think I did on my FK8 either, I want to say I did shoot the axle nut off in order to have a little bit more play and movement with the spindle.
