springs

No, sorry, no MK2s here.   Just kidding, man, the list is made up of mostly
MK2s which are lowered also.  There are gobs of options for you there in the
UK and with my experiences I like the Spax setups but check around.  Usually
it is nice to have either the front or rear suspension adjustable so you can
make the car as even as possible.  HTH!
