    Yes I have tried to them
    They deliver at 3-4 months
    When they going to have a delivery
    From the big Apex company
    They don’t order only the springs.
    And they ask 220 € for the kit
    When motorsportword ask 106€
    If I put the postage in the cost maybe is near to 220
    But I will have them match sooner
    Thats why im try to find them on the net

    It might be but over Christmas it is very difficult to do anything with our post offices as they are very busy and it may be unreliable - would you be ok to wait until the new year?

    To be sure that they got from me to you I would want to use a courier - may be quite expensive but much more reliable. Will you be ok with this?

    Thank you
    I tried and they still will not post direct to you.

    They checked the stock and all is ok, just 1 week - I can order after Christmas if you like.

    The courier from me to you will be about €130!! It could be less, that is based on 10-20Kg parcel.

    So €120.80 for the springs plus 130€...is €250 ok?

    I guess so if they would cost you €243 in Greece!

    AlfaJack
    First of all I want to thank you twice you help me many times in the past
    The 130€ is very much for the postage
    I have pay from walkers garage 37? for the clutch pressure disk and all the set
    Above 10 kg. But I don’t remember with what he sent it (post office or currier) the package was come in front of my door
    When were talking I found an internet place here in Greece that the owner is an Englishman
    http://www.streetandcircuit.biz/

    I go from there personally and he give me an offer
    162€ but the delivery on February
    I thing that im going to take his offer
    But May big problem is the deliver I have a track day on February 22
    And I want to have them
    From the other site there is a good difference on money at list 100€
    Am in a little confuse
    Im going to thing it


    I want to thank you again for the interest

    130 in postage!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! are they sending it with a personal security guard
    That's just stupid.

    we didn't even come close to that when sending a complete suspension kit around europe.

    Put it in the regular mail, it will surely arrive, and be insured to.

    Damn.........

    Well I do not mind sending it by the post office if you are ok with the risk - 10Kg to Greece in 6 days, UNtracked and ?150 compensation is about ?50:

    It is your choice, I offered the courier in case you were concerned about it going missing. I have sent things abroad to another forum member before in Argentina and they never arrived!

    Let me know what you would like to do

    Oh dear

    I can check, although they get them from the supplier as well so I would not expect much

    Eibach used to make springs for the Q4.

    What about people upgrading to the D2 kit - any spare lowering springs available?

    Will let you know.
    Jack

    Intrax Racing have also lowering springs. They lower 50mm.
    Check their webpage.

    Don't know if they are still available or do international shipping.

    Sorry, here is the reply...:

    Hi Jack,

    I've checked stock with our supplier and im afraid we can no longer source
    the springs either.

    Regards,

    Gordon

    no lowering spring from me, only orignal when i finally decide to mount my d2's. (spring time)

    But why don't you contact a company that makes springs. If you give the the axle weight of your car, they can make you springs without any problems, and they will also be cheaper than buying a known brand.

    I checked this up here in Norway because the d2 springs are a bit soft in the back, and if i find them soft i will get another pair from a spring manufacturer.

    My d2 is still laying around in the living room so no need for getting extra springs yet.

    I have the same scenery, except the winter settings
    I have the Intrax 50mm lowering springs. Yes, you need to drive carefully on bumpy roads and take the speed bumps with low speed!
    The tyres will touch the wheel arches when you corner and take speed bumps while driving fast.
