im gonna be in need of a new set of springs on the front od mine fairly soon as they are starting to invert and make noises at me :D

priced up some killen ones but they were 77.77 plus vat...EACH!

amk say they no longer stocked as they are obsolete.

blueprint only do rears :roll:

going to try kyb shortly but other than that I can't find any standard ones.

anyone know any decent sites that do standard front springs at all?

cheers

I got mine from Japanese4x4spares, but that was before they started selling shit springs, so avoid them at all costs!

Llama4x4 do standard height I think but not cheap, think £140 a pair is what I paid for my fronts...

get some brand new rears and then fit your old rears to the front! I would imagine they'll end up pretty much the same height, should ride and flex better as well :thumbup:

so forgive my stupidity here, but would the rears fit straight on or would I have to modify the spring mounts at all? and would it give me a level ish ride hight?
