Picked up the springs tonight.......

Better late than never but they've done a good job as usual - take a while before these start to rust

and they look soo much better than they did - bargain for Â£21 for all four springs and Â£15 to get em shot blasted and powder coated

Was gonna fit em but it did the usual and Rained!!!!!

Heres the pics

With Flash (made em look gloss and they aren't!!!!)

Without Flash (better satin finish

so much better than red!!!)

Measured the body height of the car too so i could work out afterwards what it has actually dropped by
