The rear ones on the Metro have P/N FAM4333. In the past I bought similar ones from Minispares.com: http://www.minispares.com/Product.aspx? ... 495&title= This is a good price, there is someone on Ebay selling them for 12.90!
As David said they fit behind the suspension arm.
Conversion to springs is dead simple. Just get the right parts (SPAX has a good set damper/spring, especially made for the Midas) and drill the holes through the top of the turret. Only snag are the coilover brackets that bolt to the rear arm. It would be interesting to find out where GTM used to have them made. This company still must have the mould where the parts sit in prior to welding. Else we have to start thinking about making our own.
