Depends on deliver cost. Say £60 for springs and pluss the delivery cost? Yeah in Birmingham. Got my V1 BC coilovers from BC Coilovers from BC Racing , Street & Circuit Suspension
I called them up first to see if they were legit and they arrived a day earlier than they actually said

60s are a bit too much for me i was thinking £40 delivered. as they are just a stepping stone for v1's too till i got some more money.

u got any pictures of the ride height with them on?

how much did you pay for the v1's?

Well im happy with £40 but if you look at my photo's after the yellow spring and before my coilovers you can see how much drop they gave. I was very dissapointed with the drop, there was still a massive wheel gap and handled the same as stock springs. Really worth saving up for the real things then wasting money on springs. V1's cost me £595 i think with free delivery

argh right ok..

I see what you mean.. not much difference at all..
Well maybe we can sorte something out.. as it just need something for now till i get the V1s too.
I think you might have shot yourself in the foot abit as you kinda put me off a bit. lol (thanks for being honest tho)

How long have you used the springs for?
Whats are the conditions of the springs like out of 10?
How was the ride comfort after the drop?

Have you considered or do you think it might be better after cutting the springs for a further drop?

Haha i have to be honest will a jazz brother lol!
Dont take my word for not getting lowering springs though, other brands may give a better drop and improvement in handling.
Used the springs for about 4 months i think.
Spring condition 9/10 just because there are some marks on the front ones, i will get a photo up if you like.
The ride felt pretty much the same as stock.
Im not sure about cutting them, as they will mess up the spring rate of them. Not very experienced with cutting springs sorry.
Apex lowering springs did not cause any rubbing at all as there was still a lot of wheel gap.

However the V1's, i had trouble with front rubbing, had a little work done to the fenders, rear was fine, as there is still a finger gap.

I love the coilovers as they are fully adjustable to height and to how you want them to run as to hard or soft setting on the damper control.

Did you get the front fenders rolled for the v1.

I've having second thoughts about the springs? Can you go as low as £30 delivered? I know it's a little greedy but I did some reseaarch in postage and it's quite cheap. do a quote on Parcels to go. should be under £10 to post about £6-8.
Wife doesn't think it's worth getting it lowered but i really want something for now.

let me know what you think? I can pay via paypal.

Yeah i had some fender work on the front.
Can you do £35? Just warning you, they wont make much difference to stock height or handling. Im happy to accept through paypal.
First I need to box them up, which I only have time to do next week. I will keep in touch and let you know which courier I go for and how long it will take to arrive

Okay £30 it is. I will pack them up next week and sort out the courier and when to get them picked up. I can do it next week because they are at my other garage. I will put them back into the box they came in and seal it well. Should be with you by end of next week if the quicker delivery is cheap. What pay pal detail do you need? Is it just my email?
No other bits for sale yet

cool dude.
i've used this company before to dispatch a few ep3 parts i had in the past which were quite good. They get you the best quote from several companies and you pick which service you would like.

Parcel2Go | Courier Services | Express Parcel Delivery Company

hope this information helps with sending the springs and other stuff you may have to sell in the future.

Just a thought. I bought 100w H11 fog bulbs. Will they melt the front fog tint film??
