You can't fit front spacers on the top of the struts longer  than about 40mm (1'5/8) anymore than that and the CV joints will bind at full drop, I made brackets to drop the front diff carrier by if i remember 30mm (1'1/4) and have fitted 2" spacers on top of the struts. No problems with the CV's but the chamber is a little out, the zuk's a little twitchy at 70MPH but nothing serious

On the rear you will need a spacer between the diff and the top link to stop the joint getting damaged on full drop.

If they work OK in the front then they will be far too stiff in the rear.

So you did, my mistake  :-[ Thats kind of what I meant though they will only work at one end or the other not both ends. It made sense to me at the time, lol.
Its not easy to get an idea of the comparative spring rates from those pics. There are a lot less windings than the Calmini springs but the wire gauge looks similar and they are a larger diameter so the wire length might be similar. It does say it rides like a tank though?
