| Re: Rear springs! sounds like the bottom has rotted out of one of the rear struts, and the spring has dropped will need a new strut

I'd gathered that- hence asking about springs-may as well use it as an excuse to uprate them... | |

| Re: Rear springs! What about HP sport coilovers all round? Seeing he will needs a shock absorber too. Think they're about £350 a full set and are height adjustable at the back?

sounds fairly good- is fitting straightforward? whats the ridelike?needs to be nice and compliant, but sorting the "comedey" handling would be a boon! | |

| Re: Rear springs! Pinkskud has used them I believe. I just know of them, not enough money yet  I believe the rears are adjustable in height with 3 settings. And I assume it's a case of removing old shock unit and just bolting these in. If you understand Czech... HP SPORTING

| Re: Rear springs! the HP's are the tits if its handling you want. there hight adjustable front and rear, with 3 set heights. on the lowest setting the rear is almost on the floor, but the front is still high enough to get over things (or ch4vs) |
