    Im sure somebody will have some standard shocks laying about to get you through an MOT. Bump them on for the ticket and then feck them off again. Its only for a day, you don't even need to bother with alighnment.

    I mean just throw the whole standard strut and spring in for getting it through the mot, then put your lowered stuff back on after or buy some coilovers second hand a fit them.

    I must have thrown 20 standard shocks away over the years, im sure somebody will help you out if you ask nicely, or flash them haha.

    you need the springs and shocks complete. spare springs are of no use at all.
