Thats not a prob python, still interested as i cant seem to find a retailer or stockist of those springs over here, but to be really honest only just started to look about. With modern day postal services it would not imposs and i am sure we can come to some agreement in exchange for some beer vouchers. Gary.

not really, unless you go with a huge spacer. anything less than 25mm would be fine. i ran a 25mm rear spacer on a 9" wide wheel with 47 offset. worked perfectly. i wouldn't go that aggressive though with the look you're after, probably a 15mm would be perfect.
