Markk, and WHAT!! I don't get a prize for my Rainman quote? 
Mike - NO, but I thought for a moment you'd decided to let the Rainbird 'Rocket' live up to its name, and was gonna put us into orbit

I already tried to answer that question. If compromise then ROAD/Rallying biased. Track is just a place for practise/fun for me. If it can perform better on track then current setup - the better but that's not a priority.

Tiff, I have put Gaz ones on mine, cant comment on the handling as it aint quite back together yet
By the way, its worth checking your rear bushes if you already haven't. Just changed the rear donuts to Group N Esc Cos ones, after speaking to Karl, and the original ones were split to fook

Spax,
Yes it is.
It varies on a few cars, but most saffs I've seen/fitted them on to have all had to have the o/s rear inner arch "tapped lightly" with a hammer.
Otherwise, the spring will catch, and can become unseated when you raise and lower the vehicle.
