180 / TD lowering springs- Pics Added :D

With regret my Motobuild lowering springs are up for sale because I finally got the coilovers I wanted.

They are a -35mm drop and the car looked fantastic on them, a nice stance. They also reduced body roll through the corners without being too uncomfortable.

Good condition having only covered about 5000 miles, I will give them a propper clean up if anyone wants them.

I think £95 delivered is fair as Motobuild charge £140 plus £14 delivery.

Cheers, Phil

Tempting but confused, 2 pictures show hairpins, others show straights.

The hairpins were on originally, then I got some straights (silver), then when I was re furbing the straights in black the hairpins went back on, then the black straights shown above went on and now im back on the "pins" for winter with my coilovers. I can assure you though it is all the same car with the motobuild springs, just thought id let people see what they look like with different wheels etc.
Bear in mind also that the straights have 40 profile tyres on as they came off a coupe so with standard ZS 45s on 17s, the arch gap will be even less- like the hairpins

I know what you mean but at the same time if you wait and these sell you will be looking at over £150 for a new set, unless of course you are lucky enough to find another used set. Let me know
