If you've bought them from ebay then deffo raise a refund request - that's not lasting very long at all and if you check the OE coy's website they'll probably state how long their parts *should* last for (time and miles) bearing in mind they aren't' an actual service item they should last waaaaaay longer than what you've described.

At the least there's a refund and then for the seller they should return them to their supplier (*assuming they're real not fakes) for the wear to be investigated.

If not ebay then perhaps then if by credit card you could do a chargeback as they aren't of *merchantable quality*?

Good luck & keep us posted.

No Clarkey, the springs on the Ph one are wider than the Ph2 hence why I had to change the legs.

Ahh bugger, I was hoping there was a way to use the P1 mounts, although I guess if it's only the width that's different then I could use the p2 upper spring seat with a P1 mount, I shall investigate.

You are forgetting the leg cup for the spring....too small.
