hey guys,
swapping the 202 for a 253 soon. I've been to told to put heavy duty v8 springs in first. Any pointers on how to do this? (never done it before).
How do i get the bottom ball joints out so i can get the springs out?
Cheers.

I am changing from a 6cyl to 8 and the standard 6cyl LX front springs r the recomended ones for lowered V8 (king springs), do u know what springs u have now. I was lucky I was given the original springs when I got the car, they had fitted lowered ones.

I have been thinkin of putting one of those hydro seats in Ruby, like the ones they have in truckskaz if you fit the proper v8 lowered springs they are stiffer than the 6cyl ones and will help with handling
the 6cyl ones may make you sea sick
cause I'm sick to death of the patch work quilt the council calls a road I have to use to get home. 
Maybe the floating may help
