Default FAO People with Ahmed springs

Looking for people who have these springs on their sapphires

Do you have any pictures, and do they sit high at the front?

Cheers

Charlie

Not a saph, but I have them on my 3door, front end weighs the same so no doubt sits the same.

click the garage link under my name for pics.

I seemed to loose alot of the harshness usuaully asscosiated with a lowered car after fitting these springs without making any comprimise(sic) in handling.

Still too low for my liking tho.

Ahmed is wrong, rainbird is wrong ?
What's that all about ?, it is just their opinion, and it will be wrong for some as they don't know the intended use etc whether you are doing towing with five adults in the car etc etc.
There is NO right or wrong, just get what you like, I have to have my car higher than I would like owing to sleeping policeman around my mates estate.
