today i get my orderd lowering springs and a pair of new rear struts. found out that the springs, that were mounted at the rear are to short. dont know why. they dont look like they are cut or something. the prewowner says he only let change all 4 struts at the garage.
here there are pictures of it. there is the mounted rear strut with spring and my new lowering spring (35mm or about 1 1/2").
you see that the lowering spring is quit longer then the spring what is mounted at the strut. the mounted spring in the strut is absolutly not compressed!!!!! the funny thing is. with this mounted spring the car doesnt look like it is lowered.
my plan now is, that i will mount the lowering springs. bought it for my other capri xr2 but now i need them here. will order them again.
i know the protection kit on the picture is damages. i orderd it new and will mount it too.
