I may get some more springs, 30mm's then let them bed in. Alternatively, i could get a pair of Koni Adjustables for the rear...

I know what you mean regarding selling the 440. I had the same dilemma. I had just got the bodykit bumper primed and ready to spray, when it dawned on me: it had a full years MOT, loads of tax, it was running *perfectly*-i knew i wanted a 480 Turbo so i just bit the bullet! I was really really sad to see it go, especially when i saw how it was 'modified' by the next owner... Oh well!

Just don't rush in to buying a Turbo-they can be very problematic-if it doesn't seem right, walk away. I looked at 4 Turbo's before i got mine-i waited 3 months, which was painful when you use a car everyday-but it was worth it. And as the old expression goes, you get what you pay for!
