Apparently harder to find than unicorn tears, hen's teeth and needles in haystacks, I give you....

Happy to sell for £500 per side. PM for swiss bank details.

Just ordered a pair for £90, figures crossed they turn up and the order isn't cancelled.

That's cheaper than I could find - where did you buy from?

I know someone else said they got their order cancelled though. I've received a Posted notification so hopefully will turn up ok.

Sorry to bear bad news, but that's the one I ordered twice and both were not delivered :( :headbang:

(and yes, I got a posted notification for both orders with a tracking number, which could never actually be used)

As I mentioned though, they struggle with web orders - best to give them a ring.

Well my springs turned up today , no problems whatsoever.

Strange why they cancelled your order twice. I honestly didn’t expect to receive them.

Worth a shot for those after the rear springs

That makes no sense - temporary stock issues perhaps.

Great result, £10 cheaper than mine!

Fitted at the weekend - all straightforward but needed a decent lever bar.
