Hi

Milners are well priced, lots of friends use them.

Don't know about springs, £55 seem very good, saw their filters, cheap and cheerful, not a known brand. As ever you pay for what you get...

... I'm having my spring repaired by these people....

http://www.jones-springs.co.uk/products.htm

First class service, they turned it around in 24 hours, I had also snapped a leaf (10cm missing).

Hope this helps, Maf

Spring arrived back today, fitted, happy days, they did as promised and turned the spring around in 24 hours... they even gave it a coat of paint.

Very good service

I've had a set Milners springs on a sportrak, i went for the HD versions, gave me extra 1" lift but was as hard as nails on road. Might be worth looking at other options. I believe Jeep XY springs will fit nicely and provide 2" lift without the bone destroyin ride. Try lookin at Pauls sportrak on WWW.MACSPORT.CO.UK

or give Paul a ring, nice chap & very helpful.

Milners springs have a reputation of being about the worst springs you can buy !!!  Keep away.

You'll be replacing them in 12 months due to them snapping and sagging.
