Just a few quickies laugh

I have got the eibach and bilstein combo in mind, what exactly do i need altogether. I have got the web address for the bilsteins B6 shocks, but what eibachs, do i need, also what other parts would i require to get the right camber and stuff???

Plus is it and easy job for any garage to do, or will it really need a Fiat specialist, or even a Rip you off Fiat garage.

I have recently had my wishbones done because i was getting a knocking noise from the front, had the wishbones done and i still have a knocking noise which is getting worse, so i assume its either the standard suspension gone, or something else, so thats why im wondering what else i would need to change if i got the eibach and bilstein combo.

I forgot to add something to my topic above, if there are any other better solutions, i.e. coilover kits, please let me know, i know alot of people have the eibach billies combo, but if there is a good coilover kit then please help me with what parts i need. (when it comes to suspension i dont know all the bits needed) And visa versa, let me know all the parts i need for the combo laugh

as far as springs and shocks go you could probably get any garage (with a fairly good reputation) to do them, i did the springs on mine (which involves removing the front shocks, but not the rears) on my drive with a mate fairly easily.

i think its also worth replacing top mounts and checking other stuff whilst there as well (which i didnt, but will when i replace shocks for billies in the future)

im sure someone will be along to say a bit more about that, but its not a difficult job really.

Knocking will be worn top mounts, if you move the steering side to side whan stationary you will be able to hear a clunk clunk.

Yeah thats what it does, i thought that maybe the previous owner had put lowered springs on standard shocks because its horrible over bumps. But when im turning the steering wheel when stationary it does clunk, and knocks alot when turning left. How much are top mounts, do they come with the bearings aswell.
