I have them on my 2000 Classic turbo. They lower it nicely, not to much but just enough to get rid of the gap between tyre and wheel arch. They were very resonable supplied and fitted for £150 at a local place with geom settings as well. But and there is always a but. The front ones tend to be quite noisey over large bumps, haven't had them long but it sounds like the coils of the spring clang together. Don't think this is good, may go for eibachs or H&Rs soon as there are plenty of people that rave about them on here.

I have the car at work today, only comes out on Friday. I'll takes some pics with the dig camera and try and work out how to post them this afternoon.

I'm back. Just took a couple of pics, bit difficult in the car park, can do some more on the weekend and upload them on Monday if it helps. Still not sure if I like the springs due to the clunking/clanging noise though. Hope the link works. It may say no pics in album but they are there!

Thumbs up

Hi Mark,

Yes there they were. I have to say your ride is really clean and shiney !Totally awesome ride !
What are those rims, OZ Superturismo 17" ?
That clunkin noise wouldn't be nice and maybe I want more drop.
Maybe H&R -50mm will handle my case. Thanks again for the pics m8 !

Cheers,
Mika

Thanks Mika

It was only so shiney because I'd spent about 3 and a half hours the week before with the meguiars three step system. That stuff works really well!!! The wheels are similar to the OZ wheels but are made by PCW, they were on the car when I brought it. I think you would be better off with some other springs, these will be changed soon.

Mark
