Hi Guys

I have a set of S2 springs. Just need to see what the buyer of my car wants to do regarding the Exige springs first.

Mine only covered about 12k before they were replaced and are in great condition

Andy, the 'yota shocks are different from the K-series ones. As they're longer, they won't fit on the K-series engined motors

What's wrong with that? Scott bought mine for about that with 17k on them.

I never managed more than 10K out of set of standarad 111s shocks.

... before they burst! Must stop getting airbourne so often

nothing really i guess. just that i know omeone who paid £50 for a 17000mile set. £220 plus delivery = £250 plus £50 for steve butts bits = £300. Not far off £500 for new steve b kit brand new. if i do 10000miles a year, and spring life is 40000miles, i might have to replace again in two years time...

just a thought..

Normally S2 springs and dampers go for £250-£300. Greg got a lucky bargain so I wouldn't expect to get the same as him. If you're worried about having to replace in 2 years time, buy some new ones

What's with the redesign for the S2.5 then?

Not sure what the reasons are but IIRC the spring/damper rates are different too and the 111R has a visibly higher ride height than K series S2s.
