Rear Spring Upgrade?
« on: 19 February 2011, 03:04:44 »
Hi all, I have an LPG tank in the boot and it sits pretty low at the back. I want to upgrade the rear springs or get air assisted shocks. I have read some good things on here about the Monroe air assisted shocks, or could get some tougher springs. Would estate springs fit?
When both petrol and LPG tanks are full and maybe a passenger or two are in the back, it looks really low at the back :-[
Thanks, Alan.

You can buy heavy duty springs for a saloon

Thanks for that, gives me a direction to follow.
Getting estate springs will be no problem.
Any idea, off hand, where to get the uprated saloon springs?
Thanks,
Alan.

Try eurocar parts but most factors should be able to source.I have just fitted standard KYB and they certainly do heavy duty look them up on the web.If you have a problem the factor I got mine from has a set of heavy duty in stock.

I have a set of uprated springs for the back of a saloon - £25 if you want them.

Can even bring them to the South next week for you.
