hi mate, i can call in on thursday as i'am near them when i go shopping, i've been past today, i have the front and rear hieghts and poundages in the manual, but could you count me the coils on front and rear springs and if you have any vernier calipers, then perhaps measure me the thickness of the wire on both, cheers.

the manual says the wire size is 13.2mm how will they get the ride height right?? i want -25mm rates 350lbs. if the rate is to high, what cons would there be???? i dont mind the ride being really bumpy, its not a family car, i want it cornering like its on rails. i dont want sloppy

the manual gives you the std spring length as well, he puts it all into a pc program and it gives you the lenght ,rate, wire thickness and how many coils you need.

i really don't know mate, but if you have a word with him and ask him what he wants, then i'll go down with the manual.

they dont seem to know what they need, so i have to give them everything i can, so i have a little measure up in a bit. dont really feel that confident doing it this way, but i guess its hard to get anything off the shelf for this car these days
