[928uk] Springs.

[Simon Crowe]

Hi Martin,

As part of my current restoration I bought new springs all round, but when I took the old ones off and compared them visually I couldn’t detect any difference. The set of four new ones cost me £450 from Rosepassion.

So I have a pair of used front springs off of a GTS collecting dust, that just needing a clean and paint. 

Cheers,
Simon.
