Avo Coilover front springs - Upgrades
#1
Hey guys, I'm peeved off with my coilovers bottoming out still, so I'm just wondering if anyone knows the sizes of the springs or could recommend places for upgrades

Size's and specs would be awesome Big Grin

Normal coilover springs are 2.25" not sure on length probably 9" then a helper spring also.

Im going for 300lb springs probably 8" and no helpers. My mate has a name of a company that do these for £31 a spring will try and get the name!

Ok haha. Are they wound all the way down?

But 300lb springs should do the trick, will be solid then!

Fair enough! When you do let me know! I know I have different coilovers but should give me a rough ball park figure!

I need it to be solid as my car is going a lot lower so if I take people in it I don't want the whole thing scraping on the floor!

Yeah those will be fine, cause golds aren't stiffer (gigidy) they just work better in ways only understandable by rippthrough

About the same as me then dude, The spring rate's shocking isn't it?

Terrible to be honest mate, however with the damper set to full they are obviously overdamped which makes me feel more comfortable in getting stiffer springs. 300 lbs doesnt sound bad at all! Like i say im not slammed to the ground so was really disapointed with them!

Not a clue Jacko, im thinking 2.25ish which means they are compressed 4 inches with just the car on its own wheels, before you even start driving.
