Hi this is my first post all the major mechanical parts of my car are finished and it has a Westfield body fitted hens the westcoat user name I thought it sounded beter than lowfield. The springs I currently have on the spax coilovers are not man enough so I need to get some higher weight ones can anyone with a 1600 cvh engine locost or Westfield tell me what weight loading there front / back springs are? Many thanks nick

Hi Westcost1,

I'm very interested in your build as I am doing exactly the same with a wide westfield body. I have a book chassis so looks as if I will have to cut the chassis as you have. What wheel offsets do you have?

Where are yo based?
