It's a small part so it shouldn't be too bad...I'm sure you would find many interested buyers if the price plus shipping is reasonable

Here is what i did, i cut of the lower part of suspension, welded on a bit of 1,3cm steel in same size as the original. It will give you a height increase of approx 2,5cm in the rear end. You must do this with precision because else you wont the suspension back in the frame.

Same here with opening the pic. I'm on windows 8 and lots of free programs don't work or do bad things to the OS. If I make some I'd need a single place over there to send all in one and then they can be dispersed. I don't have good access to overseas shipping, when I asked through work for 1lb I was quoted $34.00US just to get to Germany(we used a general address). What ship company can be used?

Hmm , didn't think of the PO for international, still would add $24 to the cost , how much are these worth ??? I'm thinking I'll have about that much in them on my end. I generally make everthing out of stainless since I work in a stainless mfg shop.
