Hi could anyone out there tell me if coupe springs will fit a touring model or will it have to be a special kit?
Thanks

Springs for the tourer are stiffer, due to extra weight in the rear end.
Pete don't care about colour, He would shag a rainbow if he could find the end of it....

They will physically fit, but the back end will be slighty lower, and might bounce off the bump stops a bit more.

Don't do it!! 
I've got a saloon kit on my touring, and the ride is awful, when there's a person in the back, it get's un-bearable, stick to touring specific stuff, or go for convertible springs, the cab is heavier over the rear end than a touring.

Do NOT fit saloon springs to a Touring, you will regret it.
The only specific kit thats worth fitting is the H&R spring kit or just fit the H&R cab kit.
