    P5 rostyle with or without tube?

    Lower suspension setting

    My problem is that I don't have the spec of the springs or a second set of springs. That is why I'm looking for already lower springs. Or can someone help me with the spec? Thanks

    Lower suspension setting

    Hi, I recently purchased a Rover P6 3500s (1977 with power steering). Now I'm looking for springs to lower the car. Are there springs on the market or is the only alternative to press the springs? Thanks for your help/ hints in advance. Peter
