Craig,

Hello again from Brisbane.

Can't help you as I haven't bought any.

However, I would have thought that between the weight of a set of springs and rapid drop in the A dollar cf the UK pound (which also translates to a high cost of freight) getting a set of springs rebuilt or built locally might be a more economic option - there are threads about the site that identify a few suppliers around SEQ who are meant to be pretty good.

The critical problem with getting bulky things direct from overseas suppliers is that if they don't fit or perform properly the options for recourse are pretty limited. Cheap parts can become dear parts quite quickly if things go pear-shaped. With a local supplier you usually do have some opportunity to address such issues.

Cheers,

Neil

Why go overseas?

Call Ben on 0432 152 637 and buy some Rocky Mountain items!
I would recommend buying the matched shocks too, to answer your other post.

What company is Ben ?

He was at Modern Motors and has now left.
AFAIK he himself was always the Aussie RM distributor anyway. (not Modern Motors)
