    and just for the guys who are wondering how the wheels fit, the are absolutely perfect. As the speedo was approx 5km's out from factory, the20's have brought it back to be spot on. I tested it with a GPS. The wheels are 20X8.5 with a +42 offset. I get full lock without any rubbing and the turning circle has not been effected. They are flush with guards also they dont stick out. I'll post a pic if anyone is interested.

    If you can give me the number and where you are(post address) i could ask around for shipping costs for you.

    Hi Rob,

    I'm trying to get these springs: http://www.europerformance.co.uk/pag...sub_category=1

    I'm in Seaford, Victoria, Australia 3198.

    There was a another website that was selling the H&R springs but I forgot to bookmark it and forgot the site but i'm sure the price was a bout the same.
    Many thanks for your assistance mate!

    Dont want to be a pain but which springs are you looking for?

    There are 6 different one on the linked website.

    I will ask around,

    Is it only H&R springs you want?

    just the first set on the page. I appreciate your help Rob. If all goes well and we can set up a UK connection for aftermarket T5 parts there will be more parts bought. I work for a freight company and we are all private contractors. There are quite a few of us with T5's now but the availability of good aftermarket parts here in oz is very limited.

    Thanks again for your time.
