Second quote for the springs i want ..

Tein S-Tech (2zz): SKL56-S1B00 (F-50mm & 3.9kg/mm, R-45mm & 4.2kg/mm)

Yea thats without import costs / delivery ends up being $400 odd all up. The picture I dont think is an exact representation of the parts. But the model number is correct so I guess thats all ok then?

Good start. However you'll find that those pics aren't for the sportivo.

the two point strut your speak of is the normal one you see on most cars. It goes between the two struts and that's it. That pic is of a 3 point strut bar..

Our rear sway is also a more simple design.

Still waiting on the Tein springs.

Anyone ever have problems fitting this strut? seems just a fraction short over the struts... too hard to judge untill i install it though. Positive its the right model.

UPDATE!

well after working all weekend and 0 sleep managed to get up early sunday morning to drop over to Ians place and start installing the suspension. Tein Springs went in and the C one front Strut.

Big thanks to Ian for the epic installation and man hours spent in the blistering heat today. Got pretty sunburnt as a result of it.

Car feels and handles completely different. Its brilliant, steering is more accurate and precise, less body roll and much tighter. Car sits straight both rear and front same height pretty happy with that.Overwhelmed with my small yet so effective additions. Stock suspension was seriously soft.. pillow.

Yet to get pictures of the strut, must clean it first :P

Looking at the pic of the spring I hope the coils further down aren't bound.

Just the design of the Teins as said. Looked a bit strange for me at first but yeh. Also has rubber lining around

the springs on certain coils to help with noise, and for placement of the spring compressors for no scratching :)

and yes was awesome watching the trolley jack go down hahaha!

Tyres are reaally letting me down in the corners.. next up is lightweight 17's and Proxe's

I noticed that the black coils have writing upside down, it should be the other way around??

nah there just rubber covers for spring clamps to attach to and not damage the springs.. from my understanding.

Cheers for all the comments guys, Installed Philips Crystal Vision globes alllll round! pics coming
