I've got Martin's front springs in my car, and absolutely love them.
Stock shocks front and rear and stock coils rear.

I am looking forward to seeing these pics fnzen...Originally Posted by fnzen
What is the gap in inches at the rear with the Spax shocks?
Right now I have lowering springs on the front (don't know who's) w/Grady nitro-filled shocks and stock rear springs and shocks...I have 2" gap between top of tire and top of wheel arc in the front and 2.5" in rear...I would like to lower the rear down .5" to match the gap with the front....

The ride height with the spax shocks in the rear will vary since they are adjustable. Marty Mier's KYBs are adjustable as well. The girlings are not.
Front ride height is dependant only on the spring, the shock has nothing to do with it.

Just had a look at PJ Grady's website to see if he had a pair of front springs, nothing listed.

Won't changing the front springs and leaving the 30 year old ones back not do much in way of handling? Yeah it will look better but, I just think it is something that should be done all the way around or not at all. But I guess they I never got a round to doing it.

I have Hervey's shocks and Martin's front springs. I also moved my original front springs to the rear end of the car. You can see my set up here -

So the fronts can be placed on the rears? Wow! Never knew that!

I thought I'd give it a shot, and it worked out perfectly! I didn't even have to compress it. I still need to get my car aligned, so I haven't gotten to fully experience it yet.

What about the rebound rate and handling? Wouldn't the front springs be tuned for the weight of the car, so adding another couple hundred of kilos would effect the performance of the front spring in the rear? Looks wise, looks great, but I'm unsure about the performance of the springs itself.

His site has been wacky since the upgrade. Give him a call, he has slot of improved parts that aren't listed on the site.
