My word that's low! Where'd you get the -80mm springs from, or did you just chop the originals?

All in all though, nice motor.

Yeah, its too low really, but it handles really well.
I am thinking about raising it slightly though as i am restricted to where i can go.
I had the springs custom made.

How much do custom springs cost? I've heard about quite a few people that have had it done, but never been able to find out costs or where they came from. The back of mine could do with going slightly lower, but I'm hoping when I redo my stereo install (hopefully at some point over the winter) that it will lower the rear end another 10-20mm or so.

I got them for £165. I dont know if that was 'mates rates' though, as the guy who done them is a friend of my dads. Took him about a week. I was a bit dubious at first, but theyre really good, powder coated red etc... And its not a bone shattering ride either as they ask how stiff you want them etc... Ill try and find the invoice and then post up their details.
Yeah, I.C.E will lower the back a bit, i dont have that problem though, ive got 3 kids and their pushchairs lower it plenty more.
