Update: I decided to go for Hotbits DT1 and here are some pix of the installation:

first pix shows the measurements they took. the faint numbers is the distance from floor to fender. the bold numbers is the distance from bottom strut to spring seat (if i remember correctly).

the second pix is the front spring (made in germany).

the third pix is the rear susp with extra canister.

3. chap fixing it.
