Well,i could change the suspension set up in my Magna in my sleep,i reckon i've done it so many times.

So,is the 380 set up any different...???

This is a call out to those who have done it yourself

Anything to look out for.

One thing i did notice is that the front strut has a link from the sway bar...this is the only real thing that concerns me...

Is it pre loaded ? Do i just undo the nut and hold the bolt with a allen key and do i need to releive the pressure on the sway bar...

Thanks...

the sway bar links are a pain in the a.. to get back on. the rears unbolt from the floor in the boot. need back seat out aswell. gives us a ring if you need any help.

what do you need the back seats out for? mike (lenda) and ash (achilleos) swapped my rear springs without removing seats? did we miss something?

it was easier to get more swing on a ratchet this way.

rear seat doesn't need to come out, 'spose it depends on how good your tools are...
i did one side in the boot by cracking it with a socket then using a ratchet spanner , that was too hard so on the other side i got the air ratchet and a socket onto it :)

only issue on the front is the strut top and the nut thats in that stupid black shroud thing, you need to take that nut off but because of the black surround you can't grip the shaft to stop it turning..
i used the rattle gun to get that nut off, it was a bastard.

springs are simple to change..
front swaybar links were nothing to worry about.

Yeah didn't have any hassles with the sway bars as we had both sides in the air at the same time and make sure you do up the strut top nuts properly front and rear,Mine seemed tight but turned out not to be so!(not helped by some off road K's) They make an annoying knocking sound and while the front is an easy fix the rears will have to come out again!
