mike oh my lordy man
I honestly wish that you would ask me stuff first sometimes to save yourself posting all over the forums etc when a quick sms or phonecall would answer your questions.
that rubber boot is split into rings after lots of years and has fallen into each other etc,
the spring itself is fine and the shock you cant really tell, but they are still factory standard.
the stock springs will go in with no dramas and then the car will ride high, check with wilkinson suspensions about getting another rubber boot, they should hopefully be very cheap,
NOTHING IS PHUCKED IN THE SUSPENSION apart from the super low and possibly cut springs which need changing with the stock ones i gave you.
