They look pretty similar to me, and B springs fit a C, so would it work the other way round??

but even still i wouldent do it

my gess is that c springs would have higher poundages and make the ride quite harsh aswell as not lowering it quite as much.

I am still awake enough then!!

Yeh this is what I thought that the C is heavier so therefore wouldn't lower it as much and could affect the handling to a certain extent, but thought I'd run it past people first.

If anybody has done it already (I'm not aware of anyone) please let me know what it's like.

BTW, sorry for hi-jacking your thread Rich
