Hi,
I'm going to remove the lift kit from our 90.
Do I need to just change the springs & shocks? Anything else I need to be aware of? (I think it has dislocation ones on the rears, can they stay?
Do I need to swap the turret below to something else?

Thanks again!!
 
Some of those turrets position the top of the shock further down, measure from the top of your shock to the top of your spring.
 
You may also need shorter brake flexi's (if they were extended) so that they don't rub or chafe on the chassis / body when the springs compress.
 
Thanks, will check that out too.
This car is odd, somethings have been done really well, others have been bodged up... so we'll see about the brake hoses!

That's a yes then, standard turrets are about 10' tall.

I'm not sure I actually understand this.
Why would standards be about 10" and my "lifted" kit be 6".
Does this suggest I've got standard shocks on it? since they've effectively lowered the mounting point? - and therefore only the springs and turrets have been changed?
 
Where on earth from??? I bought 4 standard shocks, 4 standard springs, bump stops and galv turrets for just over 200 from LRDirect. Inc vat and delivery, and that's for a 110, whose rear springs cost twice as much. Front spring is about £14+VAT.
