Only purchased last week. Was going to fit them at the time my dampers were off for the refurb but had to get the car back on the road quicker then planned meaning I decided not to fit these.
As the photo shows, slight mark to the top of one of the mounts but it's only light. That was from a...
Nope. Everything apart from the small black disc is ontop of the turret. This is the way it apperently works:
1. Damper
2. Spring
3. Top hat to hold spring
4. Black disk (picture 3)
5. Through turret
6. All of the orange STM
7. nut shown in the last picture
8. No fecking idea what the 3 bolts...
Here are some pictures of them

Some people have changed the springs on them to slightly shorter ones, Mark Fish sells them. Try a search on here, there have been a number of recent posts about them.
Thanks, got everything undone without too much of an issue, needed a breaker bar to get the bolts off though but I won in the end! :) I bought some new bolts to replace when I put it back together tonight, as the dampers should be with me today (BTW - Ben @ BG is a legend! Managed to get my...
On Sunday I will be reomoving my dampers ready for their trip up north to BG Motorsport. I've been searching the forum but haven't found the answer I'm looking for.
Does anyone know the socket sizes I will need? The one on the top of the strut looks big, plus does anyone know what I should...
Sure can. I've not yet had the chance to go out in one with STM but I'm going to take the chance, with the improved steering response I can avoid pot holes better! Plus my Reno mounts are making horrid noises when turning. The noise I was hearing whilst turning at low speed seems to be the top...
Just a quick question that I must ask, have you put the switch next to the ESP to the upper positon? There is a rocker switch that down selects the limiter and up chooses the cruise control. Depending on the one you choose, either a red light for limiter or a green light for cruise appears next...
Does look nice! They have grown on me since I first saw them, just can't bring myself to change the T just yet.
Looking at your forum username, you'll have to change it now! ;)
A quick sign is the wheels are darker (http://www.millteksport.com/media/image ... iginal.jpg) thats as long as they are standard and havent been replaced, plus you have the larger spoiler on the boot.
Can you not salvage a part number from the old broken spring?
I decided to do the same in the end. I like the PE2's, I can't seem to fault them and I love the grip they give in the wet and the wear rate isn't too bad either. If I was going to get another tyre to do me until the PE3's are available, I would rarther spend a few quid more to get some PE2s...
Looking at prices, the RainSports aren't as cheap as I thought. The local tyre company I have used for years are quoting:
Pirelli Pzero Nero £82.90
Toyo T1-R £84.02
Uniroyal Rainsport £88.46
As alternatives for the PE2's. Thinking of maybe trying the T1-R's...
