Yes, all done when I coated the alloys with Wheel Armour.
I have the forged blades.

NOTE: Make sure that your spacers are 'hub-centric' types.

I have fitted Motorsport Tech 17mm spacers all round that require no modification to the studs.

Hi Tel

Do you know if these can still be sourced? They don’t list F-Types on their website :/ I’m quite keen to get a set

We did them as a group buy through the US F-Type forums.

I suggest you drop Lenny Stahl (Owner) an email to make a set for you motorsportjr@gmail.com

Hello

I would be very careful ... there is no way I would want my FTYPE any firmer then stock .. would get my nerves on our current UK roads. But the blurb does say that it would give you a better comfortable ride offering best of both worlds ..

so .. get them fitted and let us know, step by step pictures please :D

I'm up for a more controlled ride. I don't care about it being lower.

I'm also interested to know how the springs improve the ride and handling, or otherwise of course! UK roads are somewhat unique :)

Thread resurrection.....

Darren, can you remember how much you were quoted for springs and spacers?
Cheers
