They are a very sexy bit of kit!!  I just greased mine up this weekend. :o Apparently greasing the body and springs will make them last forever.

Pleased to see he decided to change

If you want a tip about adjusting the height. The bottom of a broken 4mm (or was it 5mm) drill bit (the part without the the cutting edge) will fit perfectly into the holes and give you a handle to turn the collar.

From What I can gather that is similar spring rates to what I have in Bruce Kirks old car and they are great on the tight twisty stuff. The we helper springs are a great invention to much more progressive.

Good Luck
