Just usual suspension stuff really. Check the body for any signs of oil leaking, check the springs for any cracks, rust etc and check the lower spring perch. They travel up and down on threads that travel round the body. They tend to rust and seize inplace when they get on a bit.

I wouldn't worry too much. Someone will want them if you need to sell them on.

av been callin thr number of this Co. but no ansa? r they a victim of the credit crunch?

i've managed to get an answer from South Yorkshire Springs & a set of -40mm front & rear springs is £129.25 delivered with a 2 week turnaround

What kind of drop does that give and I guess you'd need to upgrade shocks then aswell as that?

available in 30mm or 40mm drop. standard shocks will be ok with that, however i've already bought a set of rear KYB shocks for mine as i've noticed one side is leaking.

i'm still in 2 minds as to what setup i'm goin for. i mite order these springs & get some front KYB shocks too... i really wanted to go lower but i'm out of work at the moment & fund are tight, this mite be the better option than expentive trial & error with random spring combo's

Aye im in kinda same situation and going out buying new xbox games doesn't help funds either! hah

that's an investment, means you dont have to go the pub for entertainment. i'm xbox live all the way

Heh yeah true. Aye same, I was on all night playing splinter cell.

finally got round to lowering the rear. took South Yorkshire Springs 6 weeks (told me 2 lol) but not really botherd cos it was a few weeks before i could be botherd to fit them once they'd arrived.

anyhow, this is how she is sitting with my custom coilovers on the front & a set of -40mm springs & KYB shocks on the rear

its made the car more grippy & predictable :)
