Yes, got some additional sets now on order - a little bit more expensive than the last run, but hopefully still good value. I'll e-mail you club price. Cheers. G.

Hi, I've been following your thread on the forum and its been really interesting,your car looks like its coming on a treat, I've not decided what to do with my front suspension, coilovers? standard with spax inserts? rs2000 springs? etc etc.

I will be putting 1 inch blocks on mine so it should sit slightly higher at the front
Which is how i want it,It's all been a bit of guess work but I am sure it wil be ok.

Hi andyb, I got the bushes from speedy spares,they are the rubber replacements as I've not seen any polybushes for the rear suspension, i fitted 1in lowering blocks with the new springs so appears to sit slightly lower than standard,will try and post pics when I get new camera as old one given up the ghost, cheers Andy.

Thanks for that retro68. We are getting a few more sets done as we've sold the 8 pairs we had done originally. A mate of mine who is an engineer said they looked to be very good quality, but of course fitting them and using the car is the ultimate test. They are UK made from decent steel, so should be durable and reliable for years to come.
Cheers. G.

Hi, a message for all and some feedback for Glen" big 80", just to say new leaf springs supplied by club now fitted to my fastback without any problems,so quality appears good, also new bushes, shackles, U bolts and spax adjustable shock absorbers, this has tightened things up nicely.
