Hey,

Ive been offered a set of lowering springs for the 420. However they were origianly bought for a 414. I know the 414 uses the k-series and the 420 is the t-series which is much heavier!

But when im on ebay to check sellers all say the springs will fit all the 400 models?

Will these work on my 420 or will it just sinks like the titanic?

Cheers

Rears will be fine, but the fronts will indeed sink like the titanic.

I'm currently running standard 180 springs front and rear.

I tried Motobuild -35mm, but they caused some rubbing due to the Brembo front brake conversion needing spacers for clearance.

I'm planning to try a set of MB -25mm at some point soon, and also go to VHS Bilstein shocks.

Bloody hell thats a early reply haha :) Fairenough though, maybe tempted with a set of front and rear absorbers and springs on ebay for a 180 to go on the 420!!
