    Hi marc

    Leighton Springworks in Launceston just quoted me $195/pair to reset springs for my 86. Maybe worth shopping around?

    thanks for that, makes $500 a pair a bit over the top, will be shopping around, if i have to take a few leafs out to get a softer ride and articulation I still think new is the way to go,thanks marc
