Thanks guys.

Big fucking torque wrench? IDK I didn't even tighten down my struts with air tools (should prolly check those). I know on MK5s if you just remove the top the bolts you can get the entire thing to budge... not sure how it is on 4s.

I've been rubberless ever since I got my coils... just how I roll

Taking out that rubber pad is no biggie, I took mine out a couple years ago when I was still on coils. As for removing struts without air tools, good luck, that won't be easy lol

you need a 21mm (?) offset wrench and an allen key.
i've neverdone it without air tools, so good luck.
and as for the "rubber pad" i assume you mean the spring isolater....which can be removed, no biggie.

all this is also assuming you're talking about a mkiv

I'm prepping my car for the upcoming show season, tonight I pulled my rear rubber spring pads, I was already perches out all the way down so I figured my last option for a little more low would be removing these, any reasons why I should put them back in?

My god damn mechanic also torqued my top nut on my coils so I couldn't fucking pull my front struts tonight to take my helpers out because I don't have air tools...any tricks to do this with out an impact gun?

Thanks.
