Post by: Pike on March 05, 2006, 18:46:17: Ã‚Â£125.00!!!! thats dear you can buy 4 lifted springs 4 Ã‚Â£200,I have just finished a 2" lift on mine today and it lifted the motor up 6" at the front the springs were that nackered so its not always a good idea buying spacers unless your springs are pretty new

Post by: Bulli on March 06, 2006, 08:26:02: I was going to post that Wizard is way cheaper than that...click on the link at the bottom of his post....same thing at less than 70 quid at the moment.
As ever its hosres for courses...i would look at your springs and make sure thay are A1 otherwise its best to replace the springs.
