I fitted them to the rear of the buggy but then swapped them for JB 2" lift springs recently, so they are as new un-used...
One on the right in this photo, the one on the left is the JB rear lift spring...
£30 for the pair including postage if it helps?...

Lambert - I assume you currently have Suzuki OEM springs, interested in your impressions of the ride quality with the superflex fitted and also if they lift or drop the vehicle over the standard in any way.
Carry on chaps.
All the best

I'm just thinking that a refresher might help. When I was in tread lightly was that with the kyb springs or did they come after that?
Looks like your sorted now (got to love the community on this forum) but just to answer, when we met in Ripon, the car had KYB springs, on 15mm seats.

I do expect to see some lift over current as Dreadnaught is maybe half an inch lower than the Spare Jimny just because of a hundred and five thousand miles.

Ok that is useful to know. Just need a pair of rears. The listing I have stated the kyb rears as heavy duty which is probably marketing bs as they are the same spec as the factory ones.

Dunno. My track springs require a 15mm spacer to correct for being 2 pairs. What these kyb and standard suplex do I don't know.
