Hi

Why are you looking for the cheapest option on an item that has so much effect on the handling of the car. For an extra £5 per spring you can have guaranteed quality.

Faulkner springs.

Cheers Matt

I just got a pair from Faulkner.

2x 8inch 1.9inch i.d. at 125lb/inch came to £48.50 delivered (arrived next day). Excellent service.

Just a price point.

Rally design springs in 1.9inch are yellow. Faulkner are black. If that bothers you.

Rally design dont do a huge range really, when i wanted 6" 2.25 springs i had to go to Faulkner/Merlin. They are pretty good quality though as far as i could see / have heard.

Hi

Faulkner wouldent necessarily do that but I'm sure theres more than a few on here who would. And plenty who will tell you what they have as a comparison.

A small point but i test EVERY spring we use. not just when new but after many hours of use also. And the only supplier i use these days to ensure high quality is FAULKNER.

Cheers Matt

I've got a lot of sets of Faulkner springs and they are great! I usually buy them from Merlin as the retailer!
