I really cant tell what the letters are. The springs are still intact so could reuse. I'd probably go for the comfort version.

The power increase and performace was done by Ti_Rich a previous owner.
Everything he did is on this site ..... or was.


I bought the car when it had done 80K now its just short of 190K.

The build inf on your car says it's a later model so I would say it's comfort suspension it is on my ZT which came off the line 3 days after yours!

I do believe that they are the Comfort sport ones, Also changing top mounts etc on both sides, so I can report back at the weekend if they feel any better (They better as one is leaking at the moment)




So from the details supplied by all you chaps I can just see the letters QK on the LHS which now suggest its a Brown / Red.


Could someone take a photo of their label so I can confirm.


Many thanks Rich

Take a look here https://rimmerbros.com/content--name...le-Information spring info is towards the bottom

If you look at that the code for normal suspension is RE and sports is PD so your label looks like RE standard suspension

As promised, I fitted complete new struts both sides, shocks, top mounts etc. And yes you can feel the difference or should I say you cant feel the bumps.

The car seemed ok before but with new stuff it now feels like a modern car, so you see a bump in the road brace for it and nothing, the suspension just does its job and keeps the car flat and stable and no harsh ride over the smallest of uneven roads.

Done a couple of hundred miles on them already and wish I had changed them as soon as I got the car. These cars are such fun to drive
