Cheers for that,went to a place in brighton today so just need to find a code stamped on shockers.

petrol for me,works a treat

Mine face the opposite way like the superstreets,I've looked around here alot and it seems that either Avensis droplinks ADT38546 or Mini firstline BA2205 or Quintin Hazell QL529675TL359
Will do the job at the front......I think.

Not sure about the rear though

Cheers Paul

Thanks for the reply Benmuir.

I may need to get shorter ones as mine is lower than standard,However cheers for replying,anglegrinder at the ready

Dropped the car by about 25mm at the weekend,had the effect of taking some preload off and softened the ride abit.

Now need to replace droplinks as they are knackerd,however looking into shorter ones although I may just make some.

Cheers

Well I think they are and thanks for nothing.

Found one,although don't know if do parts for Tein,place was fairly useles 20 years ago.

As above. I need to buy to adjustment collers and lock collers for two of my Tein HR shocks.We lowerd the car 25mm all around and the Tein spanners were slipping a hell of alot so they were......tapped around as they were a tad seized,Car looks better though :D ,and the ride is a little softer. :thu...

I have to say that in the 20 or so cars that have passed through my hands since 1983 I've always used ethylene glycol based antifreeze which was always mixed with normal tap water.No garage I ever worked at said otherwise.Although mixing petrol and diesel is bad #-o :D Only had one problem and that ...

Why is normal antifreeze a no no.

Are these the famous droplinks drop links as mine are knackerd 92 turbo import.....Tein HR's black 8) http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/TOYOTA-MR2-MK2-IMPORT-FRONT-ANTI-ROLL-BAR-LINK-RODS-x-2_W0QQitemZ290304576073QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item290304576073&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14...

I can only answer one of your questions,MPG.

I'm getting around 24 mpg,with a mix of very short runs to work 1/2 mile,the odd blast up to 80 and general driving.

Using Tescos super.

An MR2 garage may charge less because they have done them a few times before

P

Just had mine done and cost me £350 all in,garage moaned like xxxx,cambelt alone was £129,intercooler off and other bits.

Wouldn't have minded but my brothers own the garage...misserable gits

Good luck

OH Bum

After much googling all over the world it would seem that the HR's cannot be adjusted for damping only for height. The HA's on the other hand can be adjusted for damping and height........bu88er :? Been offerd some 17 x 8 OZ wheels with 40et so that will cheer me up if the PCD is correct. Thanks for...

Any idea how,not much info out there.

Guess not then
