could do with some for the front of the 90 (think the 1's i have are probably the originals from new :D 87 reg)
i replaced the rear pair few years ago with + 2" hd ones so she's a tad nose low
dont know if the rear 1's you have would redress the balance or not.
my driving style tends to bottom them out now and then :D

From what ah've heard, the front ones are the same as 90 rears so dunno if they're the same as yer 90's front??? But if they are, ye're more than welcome tae have them mate;):D

spoke to guy at mm4x4 he says it's unusual to have dodgy britpart spring,
they are 13mm different in height but when you look at the front it looks worse. sent him pics he asked for awaiting reply. tried taking measurements from chassis to various points but none seemed to be the same. is the front ****ed or is it me.

HAHAHAHAA! He would say that if he's sellin' them:rolleyes::D


Remember yer fuel tank and yersel' sittin' on the lower side will bring it down a bit... filled it up recently?;)
 
fronts were put on front and rears on the rear. There was nothing to indicate a left or right side spring. am i missing something here?the 90 is a td5
 
not that i was aware of i put them next to each other and they looked exactly the same, and they were all just plain yellow, when i bought them i queried about the backs as they were only slightly taller than the originals , apparently they are stiffer and do not compress as much
