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.

Your in Luck. I happen to have a set of 180lb 2.5in diameter springs. I think they are 14in long. If that won't work for you, then you should call Landrum Spring service. They are on the web.

Thanks Brett but those are the exact ones I presently have on the car. When I mount them on the top perch of the shock mount to get the car back up to stock height they are so tightly compressed that they bind on some of the jump landings and when I hit rocks etc. Basically I need same amount of suspension travel as stock but stiffer springs. Most of the stiffer springs availble are shorter than stock ones as they're designed to also lower the car. Looks like I'm going to have to have some customer length 180's made up for me.
