Just wondering if anybody knows the dimensions for springs to be made or of any other springs from other cars which are a bolt on. I think I got the HR springs mixed up with the ek and threw out the ek ones duh

I know that ya mean mate , I took some springs to the spring guy a few weeks back to get lowered that I pulled out of my garage ..cost me $200.00 ...went to fit them after the job was done and they just wouldnt fit , turned out to be HR springs that I had laying around for ages and forgot I had them ......anyway I think fe fc fb ek are all the same .....theres plenty of them laying around over here , but I guess freight costs wouldnt allow ya to get them from here .....but if ya get struck I,ve got heaps of them ..............Fingers 0409253202
