Not wanting to hijack, but

Spud, was it you that posted a while ago about fitting 250lb springs to the back? I did a search, but can't find it.
If ya got a link it would help, coz I'm defo going to put on heavier springs to support my Lardy

I'm 16st, and the car does feel much more planted on the rear with the heavier springs on.

They are the same as the front squbti - 13" dampers with a 1" top hat + 8" springs

Hello Janne,

Rally designs don't do them in 1.9" x 8" but Dampertech think they may be able to get some.

Cheers....AndyH
