JUST RECIEVED H=R CUP KIT FROM ZONE SHOP AND IT DOES NOT LOOK LIKE THE PICTURES ON THE WEB there are no spring platforms just the shock inserts. is this normal? also is there any way of telling before fitment if its the 35 mm kit I ordered it looks like it is but Id rather not fit it if its wrong, serial number or anything? Reassurance would be appreciated.

cup kit will be shocks and springs unless you ordered the coilovers.

i believe all 35 mm springs are red but not certain

Only coilovers come with full front struts. For most kits, you will have to re-use your existing front struts and replace the old strut inserts with the new ones.

The rears are a complete replacement.

Your instructions with it should tell you you need to use all old/existing dust-covers etc etc off the current suspension.

Yeah I got a 35mm Cup Kit off ebay. The shocks are just inserts and the springs are red.

The 60/40 kit has black springs
