Tony: I'll give you first refusal when I advertise them if you like... I don't know how much they're worth yet! (I'll supply the 275/225 springs with it which are much better for UK roads). Haven't got the Link in yet... far too busy trying to get a couple of houses ready to sell

Dunk: YHPM!

Cheers for that. Im still not sure if they would be too firm for my liking. From our e-mails a while ago i think i put the price of the cuscos that i was offered (with the standard springs)... not sure if you thought this was very cheap or not. I do have STiV dampers and uprated springs at the moment... not sure if these would be of interest to you. Or how we would do the swap etc...my cars is used daily so can't afford it being off the road for a few days for the sunspension to be taken off while posted to you and then wait for yours to be posted to me........ nothing is ever easy is it!

They are very firm. But if you wanted to uprate the STi5 std springs you must like it firmer than me! Do you have the originals too?

I can't recall the price you mentioned but I do remember they weren't adjustable. The ones I have are Zero-2R (see http://www.cusco.co.jp/english/e_cont.html). They're quite pricey new. These ones are in good nick, can't have been on the car long

Could you meet me near Cirencester? I use a mate's airtools at his place there for suspension stuff and could fit it for you.

LOL.. i do like the suspension to be firm. Unfortunately i don't have the standard springs. The springs i have could well be as firm as the coilover springs you have!! I do beleive that these dampers are by far the best to be fitted to a classic scoob. Maybe with a set of eibachs would be best for you??

Forgot you had the adjustable versions... could well be too epensive for me then. Let me know what you want for them tho and i'll decide. i have been attracted to the Scoobysport GTrac stuff but it's hard to get any feedback from current users .

Cirencester... but far form Manchester but i'm sure i could sort something if the price was right
