Dunno if mine will fit, should do, I'll be fitting S2 springs and shocks when they arrive (hopefully tomorrow) I have to give the fronts back to Lawrence (Thanks Again!

) But you are welcome to the rears, not leaking but probably safe to say that they are "tired".

When is your MOT?

i stay in newtonhill, the cars been off the road over winter. I dont have it booked in for an mot yet but it expired in january. If you decide to sell your old rear shock absorbers let me know. Does anyone know whos best to fit them in aberdeen? dont fancy going all the way to edinburgh with knackered rear suspension.

Hey, FOC to an SE member! All I ask is that if you do upgrade (And they still work!) I can have them back. Easy to fit, Lawrence fitted mine in about an hour with me "asisting" (Taking the wheels off...!) If I get my S2 fitted I'm near Dundee, Half the distance

I am assuming that they will fit mind... (97R)

For a simple wee job like that and an MOT, I'd get Autoquick in whitemyres to do it.... Ask for a guy called Steve Deans.

Do it yourself, it's only 2 bolts per corner.

S2 suspention in the post today apparently, should have it fitted by the weekend. I'll post when I get finished, then they are yours to collect

ok cheers, just wondering. whats the benefit of fitting S2 suspension? and is modification required. because i was planning on fitting nitrons at a later date, but maybe aswell fitting S2 suspension?

Supposed to be a great improvement but for half the cash. Not adjustable but get good reviews for road and occasional track use. Lots of options for ride heights from Steve Butts on SELC*CK. Only mods to rear upper mounts if you want a lower ride height. Costs ~£550 dependant on height (Going up a bit soon apparently)
