VWR springs just front?

VWR supply full set, but i just wanted front lowering. The rears sit good already but the nose sits way high and starts to 'bob' about when really pushing on. After these were fitted, the ride and handling improvement was significant, very impressed. Car now sits 3-4mm lower at front compared to rear, as apposed to 20mm higher.

6 weeks of Asymmetric 2's and guess what - one is budging - i have only had the car 8 weeks and the last guy curbed the alloys allot so i have been super careful and not curbed them once.
Long, looks like i will have to buy 2 new tyres as i cant see the tyre shop doing anything for me but i will try on Saturday.

Hope you get somewhere mate, I didn't even try. I had so many like this, it cost a bloody fortune! That's why I now have mich ps3's all round. Keeping my fingers crossed they are stronger on the sidewall.

I'm sure I read somewhere on here that someone contacted Good Year and they are giving them 45% cost for each tyre

Edit just found it:
I have had trouble with my F1 asym.Just waiting for a reply from Goodyear.2 front tyres have split on the inner and outer wall.Not sure why. Good job I had taken the wheels off to clean them or I might not have been having this conversation :sad1: Tyres only done 7000 miles and it dosen't have a hard life!
I have had a reply from goodyear today.They have give me a 45% credit on each tyre.So can't complain at that :happy2:

^^^^ has to be worth a punt. My tyre guy said that it was snakebite due to pot holes. My tyres have long since gone to some pikeys garden by now so for me the damage is done, I just won't buy them again.
