Its really hard to get a decent photo.... I might have something somewhere...


Was there anything in particular you needed to see or wanted to know?


All I can say, is that the mounts are crap, and the SVA tester was not happy with it until I argued with him

ok, well jus how the rear springs are stopped from being able to pop out if you lift off?

Are you using the standard rear springs? If you are then I would suggest that is not a very good idea!

I made up a set of brackets that sit in the "spring seat" and a set of brackets that slide into the chassis tube above the spring seat and then bolted a coilover inplace.....

I do have a set of coilovers that were fitted to the car briefly before I changed my mind and fitted something else if you want them instead of the coil spring....

The only reason I didnt keep these was that the ride height was unacceptably high in my opinion... so I went for a set of protech dampers..... But if you are happy with a slightly higher ride height.... these might work for you!

You can see the brackets bolted onto the suspension seats on the arms..



These are the origional coilovers I fitted...


These were the new ones... (notice the reduced ride height)
