*Glenn* 854 Report post Posted February 25, 2009 Talk to Keith at H&R Ph. 021378902 You will need a combination of E36 4 cylinder front springs and E30 rear springs. Which is what I have on mine Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Creaver 55 Report post Posted February 25, 2009 I would go back to Mag and Turbo and get them to fix it...if you paid for it and they lowered it TOO low...surely it's their fault and it's their obligation to fix it. Failing that, do as Glenn suggested. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zenetti 0 Report post Posted February 25, 2009 Mag and Turbo are obliged by law to remedy the problem. If they fail to do that, you should get your money back. Consumer Guarantees Act is a wonderful thing! You can quote all sorts of parts from it - goods not fit for purpose etc Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nobimmer 694 Report post Posted February 26, 2009 If you fail on getting them to do it, and want a cheap alternative for the time being so you don't get in trouble, Racelign do a 15mm rubber spacer that sits between the top of your spring locater and the spring. Will give you the 15mm you need. Don't really know what it does for handling, but worked wonders for WOFS when I was rangi. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What sort of cost is involved with these spacers, and dose any1 know what it will do to drive quaility, cose i want my car lower but not sacked on its nuts, but i also dont want to have to buy new springs and shocks and new tyres due to camber.

zenetti 0 Report post Posted March 12, 2009 (edited) As I said earlier take it back to Mag and Turbo and get them to remedy it. They cannot back out of it, if you simply asked them to lower your car. They are obliged by law to fix the problem as they have illegally lowered the car! Tell them that they have failed their obligations under the Consumer Guarantees Act. Also go to your local Citizens Advice Bureau and they will be able to help you out with the relevant sections of the Consumer Guarantees Act. Good luck.

martyyn 2 Report post Posted March 12, 2009 Do what Johno has suggested and get back to Mag and Turbo. Whats the point of doing anything else if they dont fix what theyve done? Anything else you do is just making it hard for yourself. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Under the Consumer Guarantees Act they have to either fix the problem or give you your money back. Obviously the springs are too low so they should have put another brand in, or taken the springs back and given you your money back. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
