The very worst part of the Smart was the labourious gear change time.
Need to find a way to speed that up!

Cheers Kev, I'll pass though as mine is an early classic wagon ( but with STi4 struts / springs / top mounts! ).

thanks

Vuknax, if they fit a classic saloon, they'll fit a classic Wagon...incidentally it should be possible to have Ohlins rebuilt here in the UK...they're a top quality piece of kit...if they had adjustable platforms I'd have snapped them up!

Yeah Tim, thought so as I have saloon STi 4 suspension on my wagon now.
Was looking for adjustable / lowering parts, as seems my STi springs are very similar stiffness/height to the Eibachs I was going to buy. And my wagon sits a bit high over the 17" wheels/tyres for me, and I like it lower for handling!

Cheers

Neil
