    Mine has the same springs and sits a bit lower than the originals, with the 235/40's sticks to the road well.

    Maybe the front springs should have been done at the same time and you would have a slightly lowered 260

    I thought about trying to get front ones made to lower it

    Mine Black Betty springs have done well over 5k miles possibly 10k miles now... Iit did 3.5k miles across europe with a fully loaded boot and it never caused a problem! Only thing is you have to do some speed bumps a tad slower or staggered.... Has passed 3 mot's now I think with them on so definitely not a problem.

    You could allways put some rubber in the bottom of where the spring sits and raise the car maybe 10-15 mm. If I remember correctly the springs sit pretty deap in the holder so should not be a problem raising it a bit.
    There is no substitute for cubic inches!
