Anyone have the fitting instructions for fitting the blisteins to an s1 that they could scan and email to me?
Thanks in advance

Re: Instructions for fitting blisteins to s1
Jack up
Remove wheel
Unbolt old shock/spring
Undo bolts that hold bracket to car

Re: Instructions for fitting blisteins to s1
Great wee set instructions Rich!
Did you not get rear brackets? To lower the ride height, Billies have 3 settings as std you need to move the circlip under the spring seat on the actual shock body before fitting the springs. Alternativly I think there is a guy on SELOC doing brackets for different height drops too, his name has slipped my mind at the moment..

Cheers Rich.
As mark says, was the instructions with regards to the fitting brackets and the ride height that was worrying me

I didn't need brackets of the ride height I wanted, 120mm, the brackets are bolt off bolt on unless you have an old S! then the front brackets will require a hole drilling in the front structure. Just bolt up the one that fits and use the bracket as a drill guide. New bolts and nuts use drualac and don't use stainless!
