Cool, where did you buy from then? AVO are based in Northampton only about 8 miles from our house.  So we went in and spoke with a guy in AVO & bought direct, and it was him that said no rear springs anymore, but wondering if you bought them from an AVO supplier who had some stock from when they did.

Remember and cut down the dust covers once ride height has been sorted as it will compress and act as a bump stop not allowing full compression and will eventually get tied up with the spring and shred to bits.

We found we had to slightly modify the holes on the strut as they were about a 2mm off matching up to the hub, so could only get one of the two bolts in, grinding bit on drill sorted it out though.

Considering the rear springs were in place, thats a pretty good price, not much more than we paid TBH. I'm sure the instructions mention it, but the guy in AVO made a big point of ensuring we cut the dust covers down to prevent damage. Its the red rubber you can see around the damper rod, so set ride height and cut dust cover back so that when you compress the damper its doesn't become coil-bound and act as a bump stop.

I'm sure you will notice a massive differance over what you had before.
