45-50mm Springs?! - aaron_one - 13-11-2012
Hey guys i'm looking to buy some 45-50mm springs for my phase 3 HDi, i can't seem to find them anywhere, any help please?
RE: 45-50mm Springs?! - Slam Wagon - 13-11-2012
I think the only options are 40 or 60mm. These are the only common ones at leadt. Possibly some gti 6 60mm will lower it to about 50.

You won't find 45, and 50 is rare. Just go for 60mm and be done with it, looks sweet

i didn't want to go to low due to standard shocks, i'd upgrade the shocks next year in a good few months. Would 60mm match this?......

just get coilovers, easier and you can adjust your ride height to suit then (:
but from the pic, 60mm on the front would probly bring your arch to the top of your tyre, maybe abit less and a little gap.

Can't afford coilys right now haha!
So would 60mm on the front match how much it's already lowered on the back?
RE: 45-50mm Springs?! - Matt - 13-11-2012
60mm will be close enough.
RE: 45-50mm Springs?! - aaron_one - 13-11-2012
Sweet, are new shocks essential or can i do without them for a couple of months?
RE: 45-50mm Springs?! - Niall - 13-11-2012
if there tired and worn, ideally you want new ones (always replace in axle pairs) but providing they are not leaking and show no sign of damage, they will be fine for now.
