as above the spring hats didnt even fit the bloody top coil. it was over 8mm out what a cock up and it really made my weekend ****ter than it already has been! (weekend weather). Ah not happy at all!

Yep they've done a fair bit of work on my past cars, everytime I've had a problem with them. The worst was when my spring actually snapped.

If I need anything custom made, I go to AllSprings in Moorebank/Liverpool 02 9601 6155

yer fair comment, I have bilstein shocks, I was under the impression that K mac were good spring makers. The attraction was I made a custom height, 40 mm all round, rather than the 60/40 I keep finding, god dammit, does anyone know who sells a 40/40 in australia. Thanks for the advice sometimes I have to slap myself and ask "what are you doing".

I've heard that Kmac were bought out by King springs...since then i haven't heard too much good word on them. They used to be one of the better manufacturers of springs here

Try demontweeks tho shipping might be a killer. The online shop does an estimate however they email back with a proper shipping quote. Shipping for a full shock/spring set was 195pounds

yer, kenny the builder is going to get an earful, what if I had been a newb and taken that to a shop, think unneccessary expense. As my mate said if everyone just did their job properly then everyone would be sweet. I know mistakes happen etc etc however your can't tell me that you know the exact specs (of course I was doubtful) then send me some ****e product grrrrrr.
