Thanks Andy,
Interestingly Larkspeed list front struts for Saloon and Estate but both appear to have the same part number as the Spax website I linked to http://www.larkspeed.com/index.pl?a=i&p=120TAG1044I&part=Hillman-Hunter-Estates-Spax-Adjustable-Shock-Absorber.
I've ordered a pair anyway along with a set of bushes so will see what arrives.

Hi, I'm not sure about any new products but I bought and fitted spax adjustable gas shocks for my fastback from Motorsportworld last year with out any problems, Andy.

I've been reading the various posts about front struts and the various methods of renewing/replacing and was keen to go with new replacements from spax.
Until that is I read the description on their website which states "all models excl. Estates" and of course we all know the fastback is based on the estate.
I've tried speaking to spax but they say as it's not on the list of models they fit they won't comment, I've just sent an email to their engineering dept hoping for more info but figured I'd probably get more luck here.
This is the link to the page http://www.spaxdirect.com/product_info.php?cPath=117_490_491&products_id=3153
has anyone any knowledge of what seems to be a newish product, note 28 way adjustment not the old 10 way, or know why they are saying not suitable for the estate?
