they cost £35, just ask for a strut top, you will need spring compressors to change this but its not a massive job to do, those 4 bolts on top, 2 bolts by the caliper and the whole strut comes out, just tighten the springs with th compressor, release the bolt in the center of the top and replace - job done :)

!!!!!!Marco can you give me a link for the piece? with that price /code maybe? !!!!!!
I 'm gonna buy it as soon as i find a good price (35 its ok but i dont see it),
as off course i have to do all the labor at once.

By the way about the spring in the other thread , i posted a link with the photo , and as i said i'm not even sure is just -40mm ,the code i found point to -45mm (but i 'll do let do check , i have original springs and shocks with just 5000km on it too ! to compare !, or even swap and done if you says leverage is like you says .).

:rimshot: (i 'm a bass player but i dedicate a rimshot to your kindness)
Code is different from what i found though ,

.. same staff ??

KYSM5044 you mentioned i dont find in Europe,
here i find KYB SM5305 .
(not sure , it seems the same piece just the photo in the opposite side)

I will have to check my old suspensions (in a little garage of a friend) to see if i have (would be luck) but i doubt those support are included with suspensions.
