Cool! :D
I'm interested too, i did hear that Jamex are pretty stiff springs but don't know for sure.
Be sure to let everyone know how this set up is for handling and comfort, i'll be very interested to hear your views.

I sourcered the springs from a volvo 460 -1995 with abs and aircon, and today i allready put the front (springs and shocks) and rear shocks on my third 480. It's more stiffer than before. The cluch must be renewed in order to make some tests.
I will let you know about handling and comfort.
