can you weld?

DIY, get yourself a nice shortstroke damper (Tokico HTS for instance), cut your struttubes and reweld them.
Go to http://www.rallydesign.co.uk and buy the Escort coilover conversion kit (i/d of the threaded bit is the same) and some springs of your wanted springrate and length.
Weld it on.

done Big Grin

The rallydesign kit is WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY cheaper then the T3 setup, the only downside is, that you get a spring top mount for an Escort, which doesn't fit, but you only have to drill the hole a bit bigger and you're set Big Grin.

Maybe the quality isn't as good as the T3 kit, but when you have your ride height set and your setup is good, the springs won't sit loose anyway, so you won't have to do something for the APK to make it legal. and if you spray some oil on the threads every now and then, you keep it clean too.
