Nope, cheapest i've found! Although they are based in Bradford so might go pop them a visit and see if they can look after me.
peterg60 - What you think of the coilovers? Any good?

Group buy 👍
You can select which springs you want for which engine you have.

That was my next question.. Spring rates. How do you know what's what?
Mines a Rivage Cabby and i'll be 20vt-ing or G60-ing it!

8kg front and 7kg rears
We both have 20vt's.
I don't know what drop they offer though?

In going for the same setup as pete.

Tintop's or cabrio's? Road or track?
What's the reasoning for those weights - I believe that is the stiffest they do

Pete does trackdays and drag strips.
I plan to do both too but mainly street.
Not sure why I just take what he says as right, helped me loads with my "money pit"

Hmmm, mine will be mainly fast road. It's a weekend toy so performance over comfort but I don't want a stupid un-drivable ride, especially around here on pothole central.
I contacted BC and explained the same where they said the default spring rate (aimed at fast road / occasional track use) is 5/3kg/mm so either that or 6/4kg/mm should be perfect.
I know the late Cabby is around 150kg heavier but I wonder what he distribution difference is?

I know pete uses his on the road as I will be but I too don't want the dashboard trying to rattle off its mounts.
