Are you wanting springs/shocks or coilovers?

Bear in mind that you'll run into arb issues when you get to about 50mm.

Depends how they look when I take them off, probs around the £90 mark. I have the box and receipt so they'll still be under warranty until next february.

Like I said though wont be until a few weeks cus I'm living in leeds atm so will be taking them off when i help my parents move.

Only removing as I am returning to standard to sell, if i have time to remove the front tt arb i'll be selling that too so no rubbing issues. If you sort some in the mean time no worries, just giving a heads up
