Custom Suspension Springs?

[Fred@BTM]

you need to know someone at eibach

not always, without giving away too much, our trophy springs are exactly the same as stock, just shorter

 

[Gally]

Interesting. What I really need to know is what do I tell the custom spring guy I want?

I want it 20mm lower and I want it to feel standard.

So Eibach you say... I'm listening!

 

[Gally]

IThere you go mate.

Pretty sure GAZ do custom springs, they used to in their old premises anyways.

 

[Gally]

No offence to the Gaz people but they aren't exactly the pinnacle of suspension engineering and i'm too fussy!

A fellow Frp owner sent his away today to coilspring so see how he gets on.

 

[ipodsandguns]

Yeah Iv heard things, I hear a lot of good things but I sometimes think it may be due to them being so local to me.

They refused to offer me advice on setting up coilovers to my spec .

 

[Gally]

Was that coilspring?

Weird not giving advice!

I've got a good spring in my biro at work, any help?

GAZ. Id heard they offer a set up service. Rang and asked they said they didnt and never did. they just build the units there. I asked if they had any tips or advice, was told its not their job...

 

[Gally]

Lols! Nice company! Won't help set up their own springs!

 

[Gally]

Well the Springs are being made for a fellow owner as we speak. I think he is going -30mm.

I only want -20mm so i'll see how his turn out and go from there.

Hubcentric Eibach spacers to come soon aswell.

I can have 30/40mm rear axles spacers (orginals are 20mm) for the rear but it cause hassle with the ABS sensor so according to the OC the eibach spacers are the way to go. Maybe from and back!

We'll soon see!

Hi Gally, was that £30ish per spring to what ever spec you want???

I've been considering this route for a long time as I love the way the CUP chassic handles, but would like to see it an 1" lower. tried eibach sportlines that gave a nice drop but just felt too crashy over 'B' roads and felt it gave less feedback over front end grip so took them off.

I am having some made to replace the utter s**t KW springs, which are apparently made of jelly.

 

[Gally]

Cheers mate. A fellow owner has ordered his set from Springcoil so we'll see how they turn out mate.

That website is shocking and looks very unprofessional.

 

[Gally]

I would have said it's s**t.

Who cares. They makes springs, not websites.

 

[Gally]

Nice bump, crap post.

 

[Wobba]

I agree ^

Not Sure If Am Correct When I Say, Many People Say Corsa B Springs Fit Clio's And Give Them Good Lows?
I Dont Think This Can Be True?

 

[chriscummins7]

^LOL! That was random.

ive found this too but usually a fresh set of front dampers sorts that!
