  1. Hello Baxter, thanks for the welcome it is a brilliant and informative forum.  I have already purchased Rimmers uprated springs and GAZ shocks. I will fit them and hopefully be able to adjust the height on the shocks (any thoughts?).  Also what size wheels/tyres do you run on, any issues with fouling?  Thanks Andy
  2. Again thanks for the info Pete, I have checked Rimmers - they are in stock, it  looks like this could be the answer. Maybe it would also be a good idea to treat her to adjustable shocks. Cheers Andy 
  3. Thanks for the reply Pete, I have phoned Faulkners and spoke to Andy - very informative and he said along the same lines as yourself, including taking measurements and photos with old spring units in place - too late! units are on the bench, car on axle stands.  However I do have a workshop manual so I will check sizes etc.  New springs £80 each - ouch!  made to order - seems extreme. Also thanks Lawrence for spring sizes - even more confused now as Vitesse  workshop manual stares that spring size is 12.49 free length load 940 lbs Cheers Andy  
  4. New member - first post I am in the process of re-building a MK2 vitesse.  It has been reasonably straight forward however I have a problem - the rear suspension has a 3/4 inch lowering block with GAZ shocks.  For the front suspension  I would like to lower it by a similar amount and I am trying to locate 1 inch lower springs but I am having no luck.   Rimmers have stopped supplying them. Can anyone suggest an alternative way of lowering the front end or would anyone have some 1 inch shorter springs they would like to sell?  Many thanks Andy.
