Aaarrrggghh!!!

Just went to reply to Daz's post about his springs for sale and obviously can't within that thread :x

Anyway, what I wanted to ask was what will Mtec springs do to my ride height when i am currently on 60/40 drop?

And with no disrespect to the srings daz is selling, are you on borrowed time once the powder coat has disappeared, like it has on the front ones? They are good value IMO but don't want the car on stilts, particularly as i plan to also put some 15" mims on possibly

Thanks Chris, i've just been looking through the pics of your car I have and to be honest , looking at a pic of your and my car side by side, the front ride height doesn't look any different at all.

Fit it and youll see the ride hieght go to 4X4 style at the front.

Very very soft and nothing to write home about as far as handling is concerned.

I wouldnt keep it on my car for sure.
