Ooohh I hate spring clamps and you demonstrated perfectly why. I was among the powder coaters too, but you've done a fabulous job painting and saved money. Good welding, panel beating, and spraying is witchcraft I'm incapable of. I love watching talented folks like you making it look sooooo easy when it isn't.

Cut a short piece of garden hose and put it on the banjo bolts then put them back on the rack before cleaning, that way you don't get crud going inside the rack and oil pipes while cleaning which could become expensive. Also if you fit rear lowering springs then you need an adjustable pannard rod because the axle will not be centered correctly once lowered it will be off centre

Have no fear....we have adjustable everything! You'll see it all in a future episode 👍

I just recently crashed my 245. It’s the first real crash I’ve ever been in. It happened so fast. Wish I had the access and expertise you guys do so I wouldn’t have to junk it. It still doesn’t feel real. I’m sitting here living vicariously through you guys as I can’t afford the high attention to detail you guys can. Keep up the great work

An absolutely superb job, I stand corrected having suggested you powder coat your results are far superior. I was in fear for your digits when that spring clamp let got. Keep up the great work and content 👍

Glad we decided not to powder coat. We think it's a better and longer lasting finish. Plus we don't have to wait around for them to get done! Lewis' fingers will live to see another day 😂

No longer working in a garage with access to a floor mounted spring compressor I did a front spring scrabbling about in the dirt the other day. I also didn't die but them clamps keep you on your toes ! 100 % approve of the autodoc eibach and bilstien combination 👍 I have the same set up on my mk3 cavalier and mk6 golf and it's great 😉

Polestar are basically Geely/Volvo, and the Polestar 1 was manufactured entirely in Chengdu, China. A Gothenburg factory is being built, but the Polestar 2 is being manufactured entirely at another Geely factory in Taizhou, China. Geely Holdings have a powerful influence on Volvo production over there. As for Volvo, their recent history is rather complex, with historical links to VW, Ford, what eventually became Stellantis, and a number of other manufacturers. These factors make you wonder seriously whether the legendary build quality of Volvo cars has been maintained. Only time will tell.

You're absolutely right Lewis, if you're going to do it, do it right. The Volvo continues to surprise when it comes to welding. I already saw the shiny undercarriage parts passing by when you were in the 24 h live stream of UpnDown.

Having used spring compressors by nature they are trying to work against the relative angle of the springs so want to "let go" because the geometry is all to cock.Hatefull tooling as you demonstrated.I got very lucky on a vectra that made me realise just how much energy is stored once under compression.Use three for belt and braces and do each one up in order just a half turn at a time but still keep ready if one slips because if one goes the others will by virtue want to go too.

Yeah we usually use three but got a bit overconfident. They are lethal things....we will be upgrading to a floor mounted one for the next Suspension job!
