Morning all, anyone heard or had any springs - 50mm lowering, from this company? CMC - Cheshire Motor Caravans, if so what are they like. They've got new sets on fleabay for £120, have a look, http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200330186445.
 
I'm after some cheap springs for the interim on my doka, and these seem too good to be true, if anyone has any info, let us know, thanks chaps, Tim Wink

I have a set on a project van that I am replacing - jus sit wrong (arse high!) and the equality isn't good enough for my liking, the coil winding on the rears is just wrong. Avos are only £160 for the springs well worth the extra £40..

im not certain, but I think that the £161 on Brickwerks includes shipping, so when you add the £15 to the CMC ones...

Baxter will be able to confirm.

Oi Baggins, make sure you check out Brickwerks afore anywhere else!!
As I said bro, reckon we can drop that bad boy in about 4 hours once you get the hardware, bring it on!
Mind you getting the lump back in may be a bit more of a mission!!

Me too, made the silly mistake of buying these, as peet says, arse high, bottomed out, these were out of stock at brickwerks at the time, i bought some 60mm AVO rears off here to take the back down for another £50.
