You will find most coilovers to share the same design and tooling. However the valving in the meisters are designed for uk roads.

Thats what I thought ratty (and what I was told by MeisterR). They could all come from the same place though, just with different specs...who knows? :o

Thanks very much man,I surely will take some photos and videos :)
Yep doing all the painting myself, it's a very unforgiving thing to learn by yourself but I've been doing it awhile now, you just have to be patient :)
