Got the evaporator installed in the car.
And the A/C button, need to swap the whole panel over as the blank button is not a separate piece.
For the evaporator, some reinforcement needed to be cutted inside the box to fit the sirion m100 evaporator

Regassed the system and wow its even colder than my 276 this A/C.
I had some time left and installed also 234mm brakes from L276.
Will do a Materia brake swap when the 14inch wheels fit on the 701.

[quote=“enshiu, post:28, topic:7000”]…its even colder than my 276…[/quote]Either the system isn’t fully charged or it’s somehow stuck on defroster mode where both the A/C and heater core simultaneously dehumidify incoming air

From here, it doesen’t look like there’s much difference in ride height, if any whatsoever. With those new progressive front springs, is the ride more comfortable? If so, I might go searching for progressive springs for my L601 of which it could only ride more comfortable whatsoever
