RE: wheels and springs

["Chris Parnham" <chrisparnham1@xxxx>]

I don't think DMCH will sell just one set of springs, indeed that's why I
started having just the fronts made.

But if there was sufficient demand I'm sure I can get the rears done as
well.

Though personally I don't think the car needs them.

Just my 2p

Hey James,
I have my car lowered with the full PJ Grady kit, but it is still a
little high for me... This kit only lowers the front, and marginally
lowers the back by positioning the spring collar lower on the shock
absorber. The houston lowering kit includes springs for front and
back - I wonder if it is possible to just buy the rear springs?
