I can't get them because my insurance co. doesn't have any more space on their database for another mod on my car 
(True)
So if I want the springs I have to take something else off

Danny F - LOL 
Phil - sorry mate, but they are a almost a non-metalic WR Blue as well!
Chuck - you're kidding! You should speak to Rum mate, he'd sort you out!

.. they fitted now, thanks to Andrew.
first impressions, not had much of a go on 'em yet, but nice increase of weight to the steering and definitely less body roll... well worth it..
Surprisingly enuff though, same geo settings as the old car.
I'll post more tomorrow, when I've had a chance to test in anger (ish)

Right, had a bit more of a go on them now..
The biggest improvement I can feel is stability under breaking from the national speed limit
Where as before you had to fight with the steer under hard breaking, it is much more confident/stable.
Body roll is definitely reduced substantially.
As for how it effects the ride, it does (obviously) make it slightly harder, but not horrifically so. Infact if you have 18"s on anyway (as i have), you won't notice a huge difference. If anything it seems to have "quietened" the front/rear end down.
And finally, although it hasn't bedded in yet, it does decrease the gap in the arches between the wheel and the arch in just the right way, makes the car look wider from the front and the wheels don't look as though they've been swallowed by the car!
All in all, very please with them, and would whole heartilly recommend them. Especially if you do a lot of A/B road journey's as I do, as they don't turn the car into a go-kart!

I'm having a blonde day, could you explain what you mean!?
If you mean weight shift whilst changing the turn from left to right, due to the reduction in body roll, the car does NOT suffer so badly from the weight shifting from one side to the other... more control for the driver.
