Daft question but what are coilovers? I've seen it a few times

 

[lewis-up]

its adjustable suspension which means you can adjust the height of your vehicle higher of lower whichever you want. unlike lowering springs they just make your car lower my the amount which the spring are made for.

Can you not order them from KW?

 

[lewis-up]

Hi a quick question does any one no how to de wiper the up ??

Why would you want to de wiper it?

 

[lewis-up]

dunno i am de wipering it and taking the up logo off it mate. i am going for the euro look mate

 

[Davec86]

De wiper should be easy. There should be a cap at the base of the wiper at the point where it pivots that you can remove to expose the nut that holds the arm onto the rest of the mechanism. Undo that to remove the arm, then take the panel off the inside of the boot lid to simple disconnect and remove the motor. Then just pop a bung in there.
As for air ride, I don't think it's a simple fit, I'd always want that fitted by a decent garage.
And the coilovers I'm positive that KW make them already, just not sure of a supplier. Phone them?

 

[lewis-up]

ok thanks for the advise,and yhyh i would man. i have emailed the kw down kent to see if they sell them down there and if they do have i got to go and get them or get them posted ???

 

[mattyako]

If kw get back to your . Is there any chance you can let me know a price? And i av been told a company hav air is really good for the air ride. But it start from £1700 + fitting
