I've been having a look at lowering springs on ebay with (maybe) a view to buy some. It just seems that they are suspiciously cheap! brand new H&R 35mm drop = 90 quid, brand new jamex 50/40 drop = 53 quid, X-treme line (never heard of them!) 60/40 drop = 50 quid. Are these normal prices or snap up bargains?
