That seems a good price as they weren’t cheap when new from what I seem to remember. Can these be used with Skyhook as thought the warning lights would throw up a dizzy fit. If not and I had a GT I would snap these up as that gap between tyre and body work juts doesn’t look right. For me the only bit they got wrong with how the car looks.

I have h&r on my skyhook without issue. I think I saw they were about 720 plus vat and delivery on Larini website

Good price secondhand, however ridiculous new, for a straight linear coil spring. You are paying for the name and the spring rate required.

I have found mine better in sport with the drop. Doesn't seem harsh at all.

whats it like in normal with the 20/30mm drop and how do you find clearance? The number plate on the GTS already sits low?!?

Well remember I have a QP firstly. In normal I find it a bit bouncy on our naff local roads. Shifting to sport firms that up and I think it is fine. I did the NC500 in sport last year and I still have a spine. It was absolutely fine. Clearance is probably a little low on the front. The undertray has a vertical lip about an inch deep This leaves about a 4 inch clearance. In hindsight a 20mm rear and 10 front would be perfect to flatten the body, but not sure if you can do that on spring lengths. Here it is in lowered format.

Go for some h&r versions. German quality. Here is where I got mine from. Looks like the gt is 15mm front and 35mm rear. That will level it off nicely.

Someone got a (relative) bargain.
If I didn't already have the lower height MC Handling pack, I'd have gone for them. Like many, I feel the arch gap is the car's only let down looks wise.

cheaper ways to get the look.
Buy the best bottle of wine available locally and sit on your drive while consuming the whole amount. Notice the gap between tyre and wing? me neither.
