I have got complete Phase 2 strut tops now, but unfortunately the top coil of the phase 1 spring is a different diameter to the phase2 spring.
If I can find some lowering springs locally for a reasonable price I'll probably pick them up and finish doing the phase 2 conversion, but for now I'm throwing the towel in, I've ordered some strut tops from a Mitsubishi Evo X that look compatible, I'll drop them in so I can rego the car.
Also while I was under it on the weekend, I found the source of some of the suspension clunks,
there was a loose sway bar drop link bolt, and the east-west stabiliser bar underneath the car had both bolts loose. I am a bit sketched out by finding multiple loose fasteners, I think I am going to lift all four corners up and go over the suspension and see if anything else is loose.
