HELP! DC5 Buddyclub N+ coilovers

[Anthony21893]

Hey guys i recently picked up a set of buddyclub n+ coilovers but they didnt come with any c spanners just wondering where can i get some and does anyone know the shock size of these cause was planning to get a universal one if all fails

also how should i clean these so i dont damage them and what should i know about them as i am new to the car scene

No need for c spanners, just use a screw driver and hammer to lock them together. Also, you might want to put a but if anti seize on them so they don't seize up on you later down the track.

Becareful when hitting with a screwdriver or something like a pin punch and a hammer. Those perches are made of aluminium and will be softer than what you will be hitting with. I did it with my N+ and never did it again after the damage it did to the perch.

Yeah you can do damage with a screwdriver and hammer, you need to make shaw you use a wide fat flat blade and get it right in the corner of the notch in the perch. Other option if you have a set lying around which works is a set of 14" stillsons, offset head stillsons even better because they can be a little hard to get in there

Do you guys find that the locking collar gets loose over time?

Yes!! I have done and tried every trick in the book, I can't keep em tight, the rough roads around here and me 3 and 2 wheeling every time I come in and out my driveway doesnt help I don't think

Yeah with coilovers, the locking perch needs to be checked and tighten every so often as they tend to come loose and make noises and etc ~ just a common issue

thanks for all the replies guys but honestly i don't want to use a hammer and screw driver as it can damage the coils i would rather try and get my hands on some spanners. can anyone link me a place where i can get some that are cheap?

[ChargeR]

I agree, I wouldn't use the screwdriver and hammer on coilovers with aluminium collars like yours. I have found the Tein spanners to be the best, here they are for a decent price: http://www.driftworks.com/tein-c-spanners.html

Those spanners don't work so well. That's why you are always hearing of the collars coming loose and cluncking noises start happening.
