Certainly will have to make periodic checks on the condition of the new springs,I do have plans to get the car up to RustBuster to get the underside properly treated,hopefully they'll splash a bit of their gunky stuff  over the springs :-\

Your the customer, you tell them were you want it sprayed,  :)

Ken, joking aside, who fitted the old springs?

Worth checking and see if any mileage with a warranty claim :-\

Re future springs, Whiteline are an alternative source to Pedders...

Also have a look west too... Looking for Chevrolet SS/ Camaro and Pontiac G8 as the vehicle model ;)

www.summitracing.com as a starter for ten :y

Cheers Chris,being a V8 virgin I played the safety shot and went with Monkfish,hence the Pedders,but am open for any advice that is offered,probably going to take a while to get the contact list going...bit like those early years of Omega ownersip.Will certainly look at Summit and Whiteline plus any other links that pop up :y As to the old springs,I'm not holding too much hope there as I would have thought the original owner had them fitted, probably not long after purchase as a new car.The guy I got the car from was the second owner and he only had it for 16 months and did nothing to it,including driving it hence the 14k's on the clock when I bought it ::) So I guess I'll put it down to inexperience and just take my time and ask around before buying parts etc,also Serek is a top man and is very knowledgable as we all know,and with a bit of help and advice from people like him and yourself, I should be able to make better choices in the future :y

 ;D Chris has three Ls...

Chances are then that those grotty springs were supplied/fitted at MF :-\

The Camaro has the same chassis, tother two are US rebadgings of the 'R8, so should be enough scope for alternative bits, although Pedders are 'over there' too ;)
