Location: Carlisle - Cumbria		im thinking of doing this sometime this year, i cant lower the car due to the steepnes of the drive but could bring the back down a little to level it out.

is it worth doing? and it is hard to do?

cheers

Yes, easy.

Rip out your old pipes, put in some Motobodge ones, pump suspension up , job done.

Why don't you just get 4 hydrogas units from the A Series Metro. The ones that you want are those off the front as they have the schrader valves already mounted on the units themselves.

As I recall the front axle had individual units on each wheel, with only the wheels on the rear axle being interconnected.  Apparently the ride quality was compromised on this set up compared to the later K Series version and was therefore far harsher!
