Renamed thread to make this more inclusive.

Buying new shocks this week - will they come with new bumpstops or will I need to buy new sets? (Or do I reuse the old ones?)

Reuse old ones (unless they're fucked which is a possibility.)

I'll have a look at them tonight (as they are currently out anyway.
How do I check them? - I'm trying to imagine where they sit as part of the shock setup?

Mmmm, yellow crumbs..

Cool, thanks mate - I will have a good look at them tonight.

Are bumpstops on all 4 struts or only the front?

They're on all 4. They have a dust cover / boot thing on them as well.

No worries. - I'm just trying to figure out what the right part number for them is.
I've found all 4 KYB shocks for $450 delivered (Unless there are hidden costs) from here:

Ordered the shocks

What are people's opinions on lovell springs?
Does anyone use them/have any part number for them?

Ill swap u my apexi gt springs for your old coilovers?

Sorry mate, going to be selling the coilovers off for more than that to try to recoup some of the losses.

I'll put them up for sale soon.

EDIT:
Although Bennoz already has first dibs..

Yeah im willing to give cash your way bud.

What are the details of the springs?

Dstocks has them on his white one

Approx 7cm drop with not too high spring rates. Theyve got about 60,000km on them. So HEAPS of life left.

Lovell make a very very good spring. Many a racecar running Lovells, they're a cold rolled spring. Dunno bout part numbers.

Oh rightio well mine are Apexi. I think there pretty pro dude

I can get them for like $230 delivered with my struts.. (as long as they got my email,)
If not, then it'll be another $20 ontop.
$230 for all 4 lowered springs, I don't think that's too bad really.
Along with the $460 for struts, delivered to my door


Cool, I'll order them tomorrow.

Sorry Silver - Ive been going 2nd hand a lot, and for the price I think I'm going to go brand new on these

I'll put up the coilovers for sale once I've got them off (This weekend)

Does anyone have a set of spring compressors I can borrow on Sat?
