    After Market Suspension Springs?

    THE MAJORITY OF AFTERMARKET SPRING PACKAGES RETAIL APPROX £130.00~ £160.00 MARK. I HAVE FOUND THAT JAMEX DO THE SET OF 4 SPRINGS WHICH LOWER THE CAR APPROX 30MM, THAT RETAILS AT £65.59.
    HAS ANYONE HAD ANY EXPERIENCE WITH THESE, AND WHAT ARE THEY LIKE?
    I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO KNOW IF MY 850 T5 ESTATE 1996 HAS SELF LEVELLING SUSPENSION FITTED?

    As long as they work well, that's all I'm bothered about. I can't wait to see how the car looks when it's lowered.

    i'm guessing it wil level it out due to the rear arches being flatter whereas the front's have to be round for the wheel clearence when turning

    I could be wrong though
