worse comes to worse ill heat the originals lol :P

cheers

there are loads of spring kits available, but it's finding the dampers which is the hard part

u got any links to sites bud?

linky

Whatever you do, don't blowtorch the originals! All that does is spoil the tempering.

IF the originals are straight ended rather than little ended at the open end, you could cut them, but this will change your wheel rates, so it would be time to break out the calculator first.

Cheers Tom,

Prob wont heat them Ken keep gettin told not to both as they prob wont last long lol.

Jamex ones

about £70 for a set of -35mm, and standard shocks will be fine with those

i have a 45/15 mm kit made by H&R

No problems mate. I've been messing about with cars since before you were born, and live by the motto that "growing old is compulsory; 'growing up' isn't"!! Which means I've managed to get experience (and a fair bit of it by letting other people make mistakes, and remembering that their mistakes were mistakes), but won't say "this is a bad idea" without some sort of reason.

Oh and I did a bit of metallurgy before transferring to computers.

haha, i once cut a set of springs down for a mate on a ford sierra, but after i'd chopped it i realised i'd cut it in the wrong place

Was that taking a turn out of the little end? (qv)
