stiffer spings

[reverendzed]

Just wondering if anyone has purchased after market stiffened springs in Vic? I'm getting a slight binding over bumps and just need a little less travel in the springs.  Would love coilovers but not sure that the budget will allow it!

Dave I bought my lowered king springs for around $99 a pair, that was prob 4yrs ago. Could you use a slightly higher bump stop bush?

Bought King springs but they were too soft, ended up getting custom springs, depends how stock your car is ..

Moorabbin Springs make custom ones for around $300 a set. Give them a sample and they will make it to your specs.

And what you are planning on doing with it, daily driver, weekend track warrior, or all-out track weapon?  If it's just a daily driver, King springs (or any of the other off the shelf, slightly stiffer and lower springs - Lovell, Pedders, etc) should be fine.  If it's a weekend track warrior then consider custom springs.  And if it's an all-out track weapon then coil-overs are the way to go.

Thanks guys, no track work for me! (lurch & Benji have seen me at go carting where I made sure there was someone in last place!)  It's just my once a week toy.  It is riding low enough it's just too soft although I realise it has Koni adjustable in the rear so I'm wondering if I can adjust those?  Otherwise I need harder springs at about the same ride hight.

Rev,  I have some spare springs you can have.  I don't know anything about them except that they are yellow    They are out of the car, so I can measure unweighted height or count coils if that helps.  Let me know.

Koni's are adjustable , I have Konis and they are terrific, just set them firmer..

If you have Koni sport  "yellows"with the tag on the top then they only adjust for rebound......not bump
