There were.   
  The limit is damper bottoming and spring coming loose.

jason, jason, jason, if you want to improve the look of your car, firstly ditch those alloys an fit some proper fourleafclover sport wheels, (they are turning up on ebay quite a bit now).secondly, fit super bumpers an side cladding, then you will have a beautiful looking car.

 if you still insist on vandalisum, i do have springs but they are all in a pile, i cannot tell right/left/front or rear.

none of the argenta type wafting anymore  , abit choppy but tolerable and handles great now round the corners  ;)

may be a bit less relaxing on the continetal trips , but nurbergring would be so good  or even spa 2016 ?
