Don't worry Cyber, I have a spare set 2.2 springs laying around.
Although I might want to fit them to my 1.6 because it's sitting rather high at the back with the 2.2 shocks.
Did anyone ever modify 2.2 shocks? Should not be hard to do. Just machine a bit of and weld the bracket on again.
Heat might be a problem. How thick do you think the wall of a shockabsorber is?

Sitting pretty high.
