Thanks. I had wondered if you had "moved on" from the image on your profile.

Stu, thanks so much for this post, been going 'round in circles trying to spec' springs; like you I didn't want to go extreme with the lift, just improve the ride and mild aesthetics, was given some duff gen (even from an "expert") but had come down on the same solution as you. Was reassuring...

Thanks Clivees, found the "etchings" on two engines ths morning, both dodgy 8's (more like 0's), exactly where you said to look :) BeeP ;)
