So after buying Milners 20% stronger springs and 4 new shockers, I finally got round to putting them on.
Back end took just over hour to do, no siezed nuts and everything came off ok. Springs easily removed without need of spring compressors.
New springs exactly same length as old one but more coils to them. Shockers nearly 2 inchs longer than original.
Front shocks bit more challenging as needed heat on bottom bolts and grinder with slitting disc put paid to top mounting bolt on shocker.
It sits about half inch taller at rear now but beauty is only drops 3/4 inch when you stand on back bumper, it was nearly 3 inch before so thats a success in my eyes.
£220 ish quid and 2.5 hours work and she rides and drives like a new en :thumb2
