    and without the £9.50 postage!!

    most motor factors will do them.

    doubt they'll give much "lift" though... usually just make the ride firmer.

      Try your local caravan shop. These things are popular with caravanner type people...
      It just does, OK?

        Buy some new springs. They're only £40 from Milners, Safer than trying to make tired springs work beyond their capabilities.

                  I had those things on my Volvo 145 so that I could carry 3000 records and 500 LPs (back in the days when proper DJs didn't carry their entire collection on a couple of hard drives or two CD cases). We had muscles then.

                    I fitted some on a mk2 diesel astra about ten years ago - so I could tow a caravan to Derbyshire. They stiffened the suspension and helped keep it up under load but wouldn't think they will actually lift the body by much.
                    I didn't consider it much then but they in effect stop part of the spring from working and make the remaining part of the spring work harder than intended.
                    I agree with Bushwacker, your Surf deserves better mate.

                    ...............so does mine - Milner springs recently fitted
                    If you're gonna have one ...... have a good'un!

                      Yep,

                      I fitted the Milners 20% stiffers springs and they work spot on.

                              so its new springs... but to go for a 2inch lift at the same time... could be interesting??
