Prolly not... for a LET i'd be looking at least 300lb and maybe 320. Try and establish what lb spings the FK's have, if not your looking at between £10-£20 per spring from good motorsports suppliers - http://www.raldes.co.uk is good or perhaps rallynuts.com

They prolly are OK and will be fine if you run them as high as they go (30-40mm) but if you run lower you prolly will find them to be quite crashy and ride the bumpstops a lot. Suck em and see, if you dont get on with them go for harder. How low did you want to run?

I cant believe how I used to love my car slammed (70mm), im going upto 40mm soon as ive come to appreciate just how important suspension travel is for comfort AND handling...
