Is that your web site ?
If so, your "Product Range" page is rubbish. Dark bule text against a black background ? 
Can't read any thing.
Also how much are your springs ? You need to add prices.

I agree with the 'Product Range' page needing work. Why is the word 'vehicles' in white? Why are some of the car models in a table whilst others are bullet points? And I think you mean you heat the spring to 250 degrees centigrade, not 'center grade'.
If I was you, I'd also get an email address that runs from your website, such as sales@accustomdesigns.co.uk, as that would look much more professional that 'djdommydo@gmail' or whatever it is you've got.
Also, make it more relavant to the fact you're producing springs for any car - at the moment, the 'Product Range' page doesn't note this.

Will all the springs be flattened at each end? As i've had problems in the past with round ones, even eibach round ones.

Surely each model will be different due to poundage rates etc?

You would specify your spring height and rate.

well were only new at starting out so our web designer needs shooting the email addres is my bothers linked to his phone as he can then awnser any question quickly , all suggestions will be taken in and sorted well each set depends on a price because of the amount of metal gone into it but as a forum member we do offer a discount

Website needs a huge amount of work. Gallery needs improving too as the photos aren't great.
Echo all that Tom said too 
Other than that, good luck to you. But yes, as Antnee pointed out - coilsprings have already established their place in the market so you will have some stiff competition!!

thanks for all the suggestions guys we will get the bits sorted , the differnce between us and coilsprings is we can supply the product at a lot cheaper rate for the same quality , we have in the past sold around 25 sets of corsa and nova rears on here alone , so hopefully we will start to see things pick up by branching out

The website has been updated to implement the changes , Thank you for pointing these things out.
We are having a website professionally done but it is taking a little while as we are trying to keep costs down , so the cheaper we can get that done the cheaper our springs will be.

How about 2" lift springs for a frontera? I can get the specs and then I'll happily test them  , they will sell well on a couple of forums I use.

No offence, but no 'professional' designer puts a hit counter on a site these days.
And that's the smallest of the problems tbh.

Yh we can do that for you mate , i will check the system tomorrow to see what we alredy have on file , They will cost a bit more due to weight , Thickness of wire and amount of wire required but a deal can be made.

The website that you see at the moment was done by my self and i just wanted to see how many hits we got in the first few months , the web designer wont be puting the new look live for a month or two.
The website you see is just so that there is something there to get out there, it was alot more costly than i expected thats why we are having to put up with a uber basic web page for now.

Just a couple of spelling/grammar points on the products range page -
"Sierra Sapphire Cosworth - Stronger Front are Rear Springs" - Should be 'and'.
"We do make springs for many other vehicles , If your car is not listed above please email us to see what we can offer." - Shouldn't have space before comma.
"The below tables show just an out line of some of the springs we have made in the past , for futher information on what cars we can do springs for , Details about the springs and more please contact me Via " Contact us " On the left hand side in the Navigation Bar." - Outline is one word, further should have an 'r', space before comma and 'details' shouldn't be capitalised, 'via' shouldn't be capitalised and '" Contact us"' should read 'Contact Us'.
Also I think you can get rid of the line before that last bit as they are both saying the same thing. I know the spellings etc are only little things but it can make a big difference when you're trying to look professional. Also I would personally put a line about the price, just saying that each order is priced individually because of the certain parameters but you're available to give quotes via email or phone.
