I have chance of some of Fredyozzasport for £40 deliverd they have done
41k miles,i would have liked some with less miles if possible as the cer is going to be used as road rally car.

They're higher poundage but standard length.

Yes they are excellent, think my valver sits a fraction lower on them but it looks just right.

I've got the choice between 182 cup springs or 171 std springs? on a valver with willi front sus, as the -60 and widetrack will mean arch munching.
