Both my sapphs have these springs, pics are in my project threads. But on the rear mines sit a bit higher due to the 6 degree beam.

No not really. With the 6 degree beam it's more sitting up at the rear.
This pic was with the AB springs and standard rear beam. So sits perfect to me.

To be honest, didn't really notice much difference, certainly no extra noise but did get more brake dust on wheels

ok many thanks
how about improved initial bite?
AP stated they only recommend them for track as they are too aggressive for road - but I would really like to try them out
Reyland supplied ?
sorry Tom for thread hijack - I know you forgive me

Sad to hear.
I recently spoke to him about springs for my saph,tried and tried grove garage but he was in hospital and only got back much later,by then I had ordered them from mike rain bird.
If I'm right in what I'm saying mike either sells ab springs or him and Ahmed order a batch of exactly the same springs together and mike sells his share and Ahmed sells his.
It's funny,been into rs turbos/cossies for nigh on 20 years and all the cars I have seen in mags that are running ab chips I have never once seen a pic of the man himself.
Sad.
Edit,found this
