I have got them on my cossie, They are really good, they are best matched with Koni Shocks, Gives you the best of both great handling and a quality ride

Its also worth adding a front and rear strut brace, also a 4x4 Anti Roll bar..

He only does them in standard height tho..

Give him a call on 07885 144 422

I was told Bayjoo springs are the same as Leda springs, don't know how true that is though! Probably a load of crap!

Yes they are, but the poundage/rate etc, is best matched to a Koni shock.

However...

My Mate GurnE is breaking his car at the mo, he has a set of Brand new not fitted -25mm Eibach springs for sale,
They are great quality, they also give good handling, just a bit stiffer.

So it wasn't complete rubbish then!

I used to have Leda springs, and I thought they were brilliant!

Mat,
Ahmed's springs are £20 cheaper than what I quoted you for the Eibachs. I can supply these as well.

Just be aware that 4x4 springs are different to 2wd ones...

How do you mean higher?

Are you referring to ride height or spring rate?

I heard the Bayjoo springs for the Escort Cosworth make the rear of the car sit lower than standard.

I mean car height - my car is far too low for Polish roads. If there was nearly standard height spring avalible cheap then maybe I schould buy it before I save for coilovers?

I had a set of Ahmed springs on my S2 - they were std ride height and matched to Koni's. Handled very well indeed and soooo much more comfortable than the -25mm springs I had on.
