Ta Nick.....

I'm planning to cut the Gemini springs to achieve the same ride height as I've got now.
They should be a bit firmer after I've cut them...
The idea is to get better cornering with the stiffer (cut) springs, while retaining good driveability thanks to the variable rate..... Good old GMH engineering .

Some new KYB shockies on the way too.

Also gonna spend some time with the trusty arc welder & some 3/16" strip to brace up the std 1200 swaybar.

Hopefully by the time I'll finally have it handling like a 1200 should .

if the gemini springs need to be compressed when they go back in then your car will sit really really high in the front.....just so you know

120y springs arent that strong, the nut on top of the strut wont go to far
but probably not a good idea to point the spring at yourself

dodgy way, ratchet straps (worekd for me first time round) . proper way spend $30 and then you will have a set of compressors for life.

At least i have ratchet straps still

O.k.... I've got myself some Gemini variable rate springs as suggested on another thread.

Looking to change into my 120Y struts next weekend.
I'm just trying to work out if I need to make up a spring compressor 1st or if the struts at max. travel will allow me to remove the 120y springs without copping a spring in the moosh.

Also wondering how well the Gemini springs will slot back in & if they'll need to be compressed 1st.

Harry. If you're listening.......
