Omega General Help / Re: Micksgarage and cheap wishbones
« on: 05 April 2024, 07:43:48 »
Kilen heavy duty springs would be my go to suggestion.
The standard SL springs might almost be considered dangerous when fitted with standard non self leveling shocks as the spring rates are much softer on account of the self leveling aspect of the shocks*
The naysayers will doubtless jump on this point, but at the end of the day GM fitted different springs for a reason.
Also, Atp wishbones are cheap, but the general advice is to replace the front bushes with Power flex poly bushes as a permanent fix prior to fitting the wishbones. Incorrect tightening of the standard bushes will see them fail almost immediately when the wheels are put back on the ground.
