Pretty certain the xr2i and Si have the same suspension, slightly lower and stiffer than the 1.1 HTH :D

RS Turbo and RS1800 sat 25mm lower than base models, I THINK all/most 16v XR2is were 25mm lower, and some 8v XR2is. I have all four struts and springs from an 8v 2i. It stiffened my car up, and lowered it a touch, one of my best mods at the time, but they are for sale now!

I'm only asking £20 for them. They don't come with the top cups, but they would come from yours when you changed them. I also have the brakes you were asking about, I replied in your other post in this forum. £75 for both would secure them.

How much did the discs cost you? If they were more than £55, then you've missed out on a very good upgrading opportunity! £20 for the shocks and springs is fine, where abouts are you in the UK? PM me if you want to sort something out mate.
