Hi all
can any body tell me is there any differences in the front struts  on a FC and a FD ?
all so are the rear ones diffident?
as i want to change all for but don\'t want to lower it
as trying to get stranded  springs at sensible pricing isn\'t working out
and also are the shocks inserts or complete strut legs ?
thanks for your help again
Michael

FC and FD suspension is different so FD stuff wont fit your FC I\'m afraid.

Have a look in the forsale section as I believe there is an EGI being broken with offers on parts.

That\'d be mine in the 2nd gen section, however, mine isn\'t on standard springs.

The Racing Beat Springs don\'t lower the car by much - half an inch tops, but are a much better and progressive spring.

Yes you are Wright but he thinks it is lower by 1in but thinks he can get stranded  springs
