http://www.motorsportworld.co.ukwww.motorsportworld.co.uk They have a huge range except not for us phase 2 peeps with the 52mm spacing as I found out today.

 

[avance70]

does the 52-54 spacing matter when replacing just springs??

 

[patty]

ktec say 30-60 i want 60mm guaranteed!!! if it onyl goes down 40mm ill be pissed!! ive got 52mm, didnt think it matters 2 much with the springs, only the dampners surely?

 

[avance70]

anyway you surely need the full suspension kit if you want to go lower than... say 35mm
though i am buying just -40mm springs

ok heres the deal:
dont buy spax (cause their fixed kits arent that good, and the adjustable ones are too expensive)
dont buy gmax (dont even consider)

and since you said apex doesnt suit you, it seems that pi is what youre looking for, though ive never been in a car who has them

but i recommend apex -60mm kit:
http://www.europerformance.co.uk/pages/products/product_info.mhtml?id=649http://www.europerformance.co.uk/pages/products/product_info.mhtml?id=649

and i repeat, you cannot go lower than 35/40mm w/o full kit

[Rip3z]

Out of interest do all mk1s have the 52mm spacing?

 

[avance70]

mk1s have either 52mm or 54mm spacing

custon made springs mate!!



just got my second set now, 200lb std height for the williams

 

[Ben j]

k-tec say 30-60 because on a valver which is already lower it will go 30mm. on a rt which naturally sits higher itll be more like 60mm.

and bilstien are good

if u plan on going 60mm on a valver u will need coilovers
