   i know this isnt exactly a clever thing to do
   but i think i may be having to put my spax vsx kit (off the 1.1)
   on my vts struts when i have the block in (all my brakes are on the vts struts and i cba with swapping the abs stuff onto the 1.1 struts)
   how badly soft will the springs be (i know there going to be compressed with the vts lump there)
   but im assuming itll sit more like 60 than 50mm of similar and will handle like a wet fish
   
   it will be for about 2 weeks i think till i can get the group n dampers and faulkners
   and itll just be for getting to and from work
   but i wanna have an idea of how bad it would be
   
   i may be able to get the group ns first but if not this is the back up plan

   Either way its going to be a drastic improvement over a standard setup. I wouldnt worry about it too much
