had my springs fitted today, just been out for a ride and they were rubbing like f*ck... thought that was starange as it was only 30mm... looked on the box and it says 1.0 1.2 1.4 and i have a 1.7.. aint right is it?? :(

going to ring LMF tomorrow and see, but i am thinking that i have had these wrong springs fitted, to now pronb to have them removed, sent back, then re fitted the new ones :x:x:x

Hmm woulda thought the 1.7's woulda been different as the engine is heavy as fook

aye I got my grouping wrong

1-1.4 = one set

1.8 petrol 1.7d 1.7td = diff set

You need the pro kit 10-65-002-02-22

Instead you have been sent 10-65-002-01-22.

And it is truely the engine weight that makes the difference. This is why I remind people when putting SRi springs on a 1.2 that it is pointless as you don't get the same effect!

Unlucky Gaz :(
