The new heavy duty springs are designed for 240's /260's that do not have Nivomats fitted and i can confirm that they are the dogs wotsits.
If i load her up with pallets now she hardly sits down, her ride quality unladen is everso slightly harsher, but driving on Guernsey roads( which are ****e and only good for Army tank exercises ) you can hardly notice the difference, i can fully recommend them

Nice one, think thats a january job. I'm allways carrying heavy loads in my boot, it looks full loaded even when its empty.
