You're going to have to weld them up, they're built into the axle

 

[leon]

its not the axel side, its the one's on the chasy

The turrets then? I'm pretty sure some of it unbolts

 

[leon]

im not sure but im guessing im going to have to remove the springs so im guessing it will be easyer to fix it when i lower it?

got any pic's? it should'nt be that hard they just stop the spring's popping out, dont they?

the upper spring seats are bolted and spot welded onto the chassis, so they would be easy to unpick from a scrapper
