Thanks for the reply, might borrow the missus bathroom scales under each wheel and see what the front weighs. Think they will tell you the roadsters BMI as well.
Didn't mean to nag earlier its just shocks seem to be a very complicated subject with many options and they're an expensive thing to buy incorrectly especially on a budget.

I suppose springs are pretty cheap though and it these we can play around with.

How does the weight of the car per wheel relate to the spring poundage?

Cheers Chris

ok had a chat with supplier this morning
4x 14-9.5 gaz with 4x any rate 8 or 9" springs would be £264.08+vat and 10 p&p (i make it £326.89)
kit quoted was cheaper as springs suppied are cheaper as thay are shorter and not in the same price bracket thay would have been happy to keep the kit same price as long as the all the bits where the same price
all shocks in that size in stock and guy seemed to think spring rates would be in stock in most rates

£328.29 all in to your door from rally design tried arm twisting for pack deal but no joy
spring prices step up at 8" and im thinking would be the shortest we can go
would be £37 less than extension type i was quoted
