I measured from the lip of the wheel to the wheel arch. But I suppose any way you can think of is fine. Make sure you do a before and after measurement.

i measure the spring as I'm winding them down

I've been told to put some copper grease on them to stop them rusting, do i really need 2 do them as it says on them they are stainless steel?

put copper grease on the threads pal where you wind them up and down, stops them seizin up

How much did you spend dude?

Will round the £200 mark be sufficient to spend?
