Need a 'Tester' for F-Type Lowering Springs

Hi Everyone,
Quick update here. We have 2 sets of springs out there on vehicles, Vic55's you know about and another V8 Roadster as well.
Feedback has been good, and I think on reflection the lowering amount is about right. Looks good but not so low as to be impractical.
There was only one issue that came up with the test-fitting process, which was relating to the spring thickness - there are plastic spring perch adapters on the ends of the OEM springs that have to be transferred over. The springs we made were a touch too thick on the end to fit into the groove. The first two sets were fitted by swapping these plastic pieces front to rear, but we wanted a perfect solution.
We have made another set of springs to fit a V8-R, with around 1/2mm taper on the end of the spring. Before we go fully into production, we would like to confirm 100% that this has solved the issue.
So for anyone who has a V8-R who is interested, we are looking for one more 'tester' who will recieve a hefty discount on what should actually be the final, finished product.
Please email me at Stuart@VelocityAP.com for more info.
