The majority of this is covered several times in the blogs on the first page of the K11 blogs section. I've not really played with the search on the new forum but i suspect "matiz strut" as a search will net some worthwhile results.

If its not scrubbing, its not low enough.
Matiz full front strut.
Swap the micra top mount onto it, file the centre hole on the micra top mount to fit.
File the top bolt hole on matiz shock too fit.
Bolt on. Ta da.

So there's no sort of easy solution... I.e bolt matiz strut straight on with out moding?
Anyone know of any other struts that will fit?
Sorry to be a pain in the ***

yes....buy springs/shocks/lowering kits designed for the K11

but any other type of shock/spring combo from another car will require minor modification to fit the micra.The search function and google is your friend for this.

How is that not easy?
You need 3 tools.
spring compressors, a round file, a socket set.
Maybe mole grips...
