Thanks for the comments guys.  

David - no, I did not fit dislocation cones.  Didn't really think I'd need them.  I can always add them later though - why do Britpart springs need them more than others?

Cheers

davidlandy:
britpart springs can be quite stiff, so they are less likley to 'take up the slack' when the axle is at full travel - this can leave the spring a little loose in the mount

seen a few motors with these springs suffer from this.

Mace:
There's a good chance your springs will dislocate under full articulation. If you don't fit dis. cones and use jubilee clips to hold them in place then buy some HD spring retainers from paddocks (cheap too) to stop your springs pulling up from the axle. Seen it done and it's worse than a spring not relocating properly.
