aren't you selling a spax kit from the turbo nige, are these in good condition etc, how many miles on them have been done and whats the drop on them is it 35mm all round and are they the adjustable ones

and would they fit the v6 or would i have to get some different springs as the v6 sits lower at the front than the rear doesn't it

the extra weight of the engine in a v6 may make the front sit lower than it should with 16v or turbo springs
