How much for 40mm lowering springs (only springs)

[Dec]

How much would you expect to pay for some of these?

I found a set of 40mm springs for about £60 on the bay and was wondering if that was an okish price?

Cheers

nah my budget is tight my insurance is £200 more but looks so much nicer lowered (and im not paying all my insurance anymore)

Anywhoo, that kit is only about £10 and it didnt say on the ebay set (likely a cheap no-brand) http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Golf-mk2-Lowered-spring-set_W0QQitemZ130075492865QQihZ003QQcategoryZ40192QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQcmdZViewItem

iv been watching this thread as its one of the things im hoping to do to my car,

rowlers, you say that you have been through a few sets, how long did they last? and what do you guys generally refer to as "cheap" springs?

will i be ok just changing my springs or is it essential to change the dampers aswell?

I know someone with an MK3 who changed the springs well over a year ago to some 40mm drop ones that were under £100. The Koni ones will be ok for me to start with im sure.

I know someone who had an escort van and cut the original springs to lower it... Im sure if he managed for a year with those, the Koni's will be 10x safer and better

I think i may do the same, however im half tempted to save for something a little more such as these or similar? http://www.awesome-gti.co.uk/store/product.php?xProd=3568&xSec=124 somewhere around the 150-200 mark?

Id love to see a b4 and after picture from some1 after a 40mm drop
