Coilovers wanted...

Anyone got any old coilovers laid about? Need a pair about 18" open, std kit car stuff with either bush top and bottom or bush bottom / threaded top. Condition unimportant, for mocking up purposes.
TIA Nick

Do you need coilovers?

Before I bought the coilovers for my MK Indy I used bits of scrap box sectio steel with drilled each eand to support the car instead. Cheap and did the job for me.

Yes I do really. I know a car can be supported on lengths of box section and I did exactly that on my Haynes build. But in this case I'm till trying to decide where the upper and lower mounting points are going to be to work best and clear everything.
