I have finally (i think) narrowed down a very annoying noise to the springs on my car. they are pretty old so replacing them would be a good idea. I do not, however, know what kind to get or even where to start, so of course I come here. I have adjustable konis(dont know if that makes a difference). I'm looking for springs that will make a comfortable ride. I dont auto cross and most of the driving is just around town or freeway enjoying the car, so what would everyone recommend? What price region am i looking at? Where is a good place to locate springs? I would prefer to start with HPH, but if not there, where? Thanks in advance!

You are kinda limited with the Reds. We dont have a threaded collar setup that allows you to run the 2.5 inch ID 10inch length springs. I'm not even sure if Weltmeister sells a 100 rate spring.
The Reds I have seen all have a welded perch on them for the lower spring mount. They came with a plastic spacer that was placed under the lower perch. We would shave them down to corner weight the cars back in the day. Hey.. what happened to driving that bad boy over to the shop ? We are slow in the service department right now (not slow in the long term projects) B |
