Thinking of lowering on springs.
« on: February 20, 2010, 04:01:18 pm »
Can anyone help me out,am after buying some decent lowering springs and was wondering what are the best to buy and what prices will i be looking at?

Also where is the best place in south yorkshire to go to have them fitted?
Or if anyone on here lives in south yorkshire and has experience of fitting springs let me know please?

Thanks Dave.

Hi Mate,
