They get them in from Australia and never seem to have them in stock. I reckon they just accumulate orders and when they get enough orders they then ship them which takes about 4-6 weeks - very frustrating.

When you get them - check carefully before fitting them as they sent me the wrong springs to start with. They should be part no. HLD 001 on the box and they should also be exactly the same length as the ones you are removing (approx 17"). The extra lift (1.5" approx, not 2") is achieved by a different spring rate and not by being physically longer.

Under no circumstances order +2" shocks to go with them - they will be .5" too long and your springs will fall out at full droop. Not only is this extremely dangerous but it will fail the MOT as well. Either get spring spacers or obtain shocks that are +1.5" and no more.

They are a damned good spring for the price though and have improved my handling no end...

Yeah, i know they're billed as +2 but its more like inch and half/three quarters.
i'm sticking with the standard shocks, only been on a month.
