Anyone know where I can get these rearlights, or are they custom

I love them!

Secondly, my plan for my susepsnion is to fit Hi Los all round (I bought a copy full kit today) and then fit GAZ adjustables.

But, I will be lowering the back by 2-2.5"

so... because of this I should fit lowered gaz adjustables shocks as standard ones would bottom out... but, I am not adjusting the front at all, so I cant fit these to the front.

what do I do? Lowere Gaz adjustables on rear and standard gaz adjustables on front?

I would put lowered on all round just incase you get the urge in the future to lower it! It won't do any harm.

Unless the lowered ones won't extend far enough to allow the top arm to hit the rebound stop. If this is the case they'll break the first time you take a speed bump too fast or do a humpback bridge or even take a roundabout 'with spirit'. Either that or they'll bend or rip the top mountings or bend the pins.

going back to the lights, the black tint means there is reduced light output which can get you stopped by the police, unless you bought some super bright bulbs or l.e.d.s.

I think you had the right idea before, fit the lowered dampers where you are lowering it and standard ones where you aren't. You just need the right damper for the amount of travel where it is fitted.
