only poundage of the spring mate but go for it, you can use it as a test spring and get the height right then copy it over to the lowering spring | |

the was a topic in general chat a few months ago about chopping the front springs. apparently they ake are front springs by the metre in the factory and then just cut them to length so its safe to do the front springs | |

ride on the bump stops? lol, well yeah I couldn't work out where to cut them cause of the shape of them, like, they would be slack due to the size of the hole when cut | |

just take them out and ride on the bumpstops for abit untill you can get some others. rear vaux springs aint the easiest things to cut and make work due to the shape of them | |
