Hey Paddy thanks for the advice, only question is will the change in strut
alter the height of the car? I will probably cut the spring saddle and
reweld it to the strut to keep the current height of the car 'cause its
about perfect for my requirements!! Also does the 1600 spring fit it, or do
I have to get new ones? And what about shockies, I'm guessing that I will
have to get new ones? Any ideas for a reasonable price??
