I need some advice on front springs. I will need to lower my Spit so the 185x60x13 Nankangs don't look so little. Moss has some for 39.95. They are 6.87" free length and rated at 330 lbs. Victoria Br

I had the VB springs on my MK2 spit. They seemed to work just fine although I never did any autox. Of course the Konis were probably a bigger help. Cheers Mark -- I need some advice on front springs.
