suspension set up

[sqweeky]

my 306 hdi is lowered on collies roughly 60mm maybe tad lower,
its come to a time to raise it back up, collies are sezied!!!!!!, tried number of tricks to free them up,

im thinking of replacing them with sum 40mm/30mm springs and shocks,

anybody point me in right direction to get a good set, eg ( pi, gmax, etc)

this is how it looks at min

   

raising due to my family getting bigger and don't wanna sell the pug,

Wow that's sexual. Colour of the gods.
I need to get my smooth boot painted!

Cut the retaining/locking rings off the coils and replace them? There must be a way to get them moving.

[sqweeky]

never really thought of that !

[Connor]

Try manning up?

[samass]

Big hammer

[Tom]

Thats a last resort really. Plumbers grips? Hammer and chisel?

[Ben]

Use a wire brush best you can to clean the threads above and below the locking rings so that they have a good thread to wind onto. Spray them with wd40 or similar for couple days to help a little bit. Make sure your c spanner fits well and if that slips off then try stilsons.

Nice looking car btw!

[Tom]

Only had to cut them off on a set of weitecs with plastic rings :/ if they're metal you should fine!

[Atterz]

Or just hammer 90 degress to the flats on the rings and it should break them loose, then use the C spanner. O and then copper grease the threads to avoid it happening again!

That car looks well.

Anyway scrub the threads with a wire brush, and spray a bit of degreaser around the collars aswell, spray on a bit of diesel/oil aswell after scrubbing, use a good spanner or if there real tight use a square drift on the collars, screw them down the way first, also hit the collars a few times usually helps.

Take them out and leave them in diesel for a few days only way I could get a set to budge
