    I’ve done that and backed it out the garage and back in and is just the same I suppose what I’m after is to find out what the difference in spring lengths are from a standard spring then maybe I can see if I have been sent the wrong springs I’ve found a post from ( trevcos ) in 2011 and ( cootsie ) ran 22/35 Goode spring and it sits much lower then mine

      Cobra springs were the best ride height for my blue car with 18’s on

            So after speaking with graham Goode they are still saying they are the right springs -22mm -35mm they send to fit the front as well as I’ve only fitted the back however I can’t see how lowering the front will make the back lower, so they have send them back I’ve fitted the rear and yep still 675 on the rear am I missing something how can the rear not be getting lower, are there different top spring rubber mounts they are ford ones on it

              rear mounts are all the same ,you can get poly ones but still same thickness so that wouldnt make a difference,ive had every spring going in the past and ggr ones dont seem to drop them much imo,ive always ended up with eibachs,nice and low but probably a bit too low sometimes giving a lot of camber,bet you wish youd probably left it on coil overs now

                  Do cobra springs not drop the front to much

                    I can’t understand how the ggr 35mm drop ones don’t lower it anymore than the bayjoo 10mm drop something is not right. They told me to fit the fronts as well however I can’t see that making any difference ?

                          Afraid the car is in storage so can’t check it at the moment

                            Dan you bought my Bayhoo spring/Koni setup off me, did you fit them and get a drop, because when i fitted them to my car the ride height remained standard and i was expecting 25mm lower or so, i never run the car down the road with them on, driving the car may help it go down. OP, Might be worth driving it to see if it drops when you can.

                              I have the bayjoo -10mm springs and did not drop as far as I could tell and they were the same hight as the ggr -22mm -35mm drop ones

                                I didn’t get a chance to fit them Darren as decided to switch to coilovers in the end
