I have been in contact with Coilsprings.co.uk regarding a Group Buy on the 90mm Springs as seen on John G's car. 
 
The springs cost £95.00 + VAT normally.  
 
If we can get 10 people to buy the springs it will cost just £60 + VAT. 
 
How many people would SERIOUSLY be interested in this? 
 
Cheers, Phil   
 
Here's a few pictures from John G's Progress Thread:

It works out about £78 per pair of springs for me to take care of everything. Including Insured Postage from my House and VAT

be carefull. if you havent got very short shock abosorbers, your at risk of mfailing your next mot if you can pull the springs out without compressing them. thats how it is with my nova anyway. put me down provisional, want to see how low the rear springs are in the spax rsx kit first

Are these brand new springs, or are they modified ones. I had some modified at coilsprings before and it was only £40 for one set (rears)

hiya all these are very good springs and i would def use them again, my exhaust clear the axel easily as i had it made afterit was lowered, some of you will prob be knockin if you have bought second hand backboxes or mass produced ones but this problem can be sorted easily, personally i dont get any cathin on the rear arch at all as the cav wheels are et 49 (perfect offset) 
 
the ride is brilliant, sum of you people of 16s will notice when u get them the arch will proc cover more of the wheel then mine as im on 15s so u will get an even lower look but the chasis wnt be as close to the floor 
 
all in all i am very happy with this compnay and there product, good luck to all the potential buyers and wel done to phil for arranging the group buy as he will be doin alot of running around

this is also correct as wen i like my rear up onto axel stands i can wiggle the springs freely but they all stil in place, if you are on standard shocks i would advice u get uprated shocks as wel as these springs because without blunt "they will fall out, if you shocks extend fully at any point whilst driving" so please be aware
