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....

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

Hope this helps, Maf

Very good service

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.

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