    Yeah, thanks for that mate, looks very nice!

    It doesn't look that different in the photo, but it definately is a bit lower. 10mm lower in fact. Plus I've got 185 55s which fill the arches more than the 195 50s.

    I just want it standard, surely that's not too much to ask?! :(

    do they have two white dots of paint on ?

    Also check the struts and bumpstops to ensure they are right.

    270mm sounds right...winston knows the exact dimensions of mine.

    P.S my rear is lowered one spline (30mm)

    They don't have the paint dots, because they were custom ones that Mark got made up for me.

    It's not 270mm, it's 335mm mate. Before I changed the front springs it was 300mm. That was a bit low admitedly, because the springs were snapped, but still, a 35mm raise from new springs?

    According to a previous post I've found, yours is 300mm from arch to centre of wheel at the front. :D

    try some of the 172 boys on "the other site", i heard a rumor from j3ned that 172 front springs are identical to willy ones (same part number too)

    loads of 2nd hand sets of springs knocking about
