I've got a set of 180 rear springs from Pelican Parts on the back of my rally 914. The spring rating is perfect but unfortunaly they aren't long enough. There's too little travel on them, they seem to bind up too much. Unlike most (if not all) of you I am not interested in lowering the car.... quite the opposite, I need to raise the rear, and have more suspension travel than stock. Anyone know were I can go for springs cut to length.

Oh really. then you will need longer shocks too.
and AFCO and QA-1 make springs in 14" length in what ever rate you think you need. Both 5" dia and 2 1/2" dia. |
