Best 60mm springs and where from???

[Skorpion]

Just had a quick search but gave up, where can I find a good set of 60mm springs?

[Ryan]

the bin

[Skorpion]

OK i get the point you dont like 60m springs! Personal choise but I want them! Anyone help?

[Mike_08]

Why not just buy a 60mm kit mate?

[Predator_R32]

why do people think 60mm is crap, honestly mine handles great and a lot better than standard not all of us are mad about performance you know, some of us like looks as well as handling]

how much you got to spend rich??

because it is crap! as the lower spring usually has alot softer spring rate, and the dampers are not made shorter... and slammed looks gay.

and also learn to take my posts as a bit of tongue in cheek ;)

Because its to low. Driving about on your bump stops make the car very unsafe on the open road. I have tried all manner of highest on the track and even on the track I would not run 60mm.

slammed looks gay.

what planet you on? massive arch gaps are the gayest of the gay

Why.............

[Predator_R32]

well some people like it for looks and i dont find being down 60 bad at all you get used to the ride, mines been like that for 4 years now and nothing has happened so cant be that unsafe

tongue in cheek wtf are you going on about ??

and the fact is rich is wanting 60mm spring so back onto the topic and if you want to argue the point argue with a load of people on here who are down 60mm, you have to remember were not all into doing track days and want it for handling purposes

[Ryan]

tongue in cheek wtf are you going on about ??



google is your friend.

[bullit]

tongue in cheek wtf are you going on about ??

as to all his remarks, we know what he likes, hes just winding you up

[Predator_R32]

just answer the lads question in his first post and stop spamming, he wants to know what kit he should get not bloody opinions

[MaRiO89]

LOL ryan..

60mm is abit far tbh imo.. 50mm is as far as i would go..

If you want to go super low get coilovers so it handles with some respect..

[Predator_R32]

how many have acxtually been down 60mm exactly

[Ryan]

just answer the lads question in his first post and stop spamming, he wants to know what kit he should get not bloody opinions

im not spamming. if you were to read the ammount of advice i give you would see i dont spam ;)

a little bit of a joke everynow and again is allowed... try to not take life so seriously who knows you may have fun ;)

[Predator_R32]

not taking it seriously just the lad is wanting 60 springs he,s not after handling its more looks if i know him best, am sure he is going for the euro look

[bullit]

ryan loves his tongue in cheeks aye :P

[Ryan]

not taking it seriously just the lad is want 60 springs hes not after handling its more looks

but you say looks.. you class what as looks? so slammed means looks? you accuse me of saying im all about performance, whats to say a hard spring at 80mm might not perform, you seem to think that 60mm is the only way for looks and anything else is not.

think about it ;)

[Cupra-Craig]

Fook me children leave it out if people want 60mm let them do it. People have there choices an thats the way of life if it werent we'd all be the same an it would be boring.

Have you tried spax mate think they do a 60mm kit

[AXracing]

I have nothing against show cars. Some of the ones I have seen I think are stunning. Its really nice crossing about in something a bit individual. that’s the beauty of them as you can do anything to them as its what you want from the car. So it does not matter what other people say. Its just often you year people talking about doing things for perforce and or handle when really its does none of that. If you really do want 60mm I would say give Faulkner a call. With a good set of short hard group N Bilstein dampers and some larger rear torsion bars you could still keep the car slightly practical.

[Predator_R32]

there we some advice take a leaf out of his book

ave never said fook all about what you said :wall:

have you had your car at 60 before??

[Ryan]

have you had your car at 60 before??

i wouldnt fit 60mm to my car, i have driven cars down 60, or even lower.

[Predator_R32]

yeah driven takes a few weeks to get used to it, im saying im used to mine and i like the way it looks and handles, we all have our own opinions and tbh im sick of having these convos with you, stick to the question being asked

larger torsion bars will mean revalved dampers, the groupNs are belived by many to need revalving if upgrading to something like 21/22mm bars.

faulkner will be the best bet for springs but even then they dont do a large range.

[Predator_R32]

rolf still getting in a mood.. perhaps i was searching for him.. but had made a joke to begin with> you just presume and get arsey...

chill out, take a joke, rather than jumping on the band wagon.

grp ns are fine arent they. fmp ran than with 22 bar

I have gone down to two inches down (still on old measurements) that’s just over 50mm and had all sorts of problems. It does work well on really flat tracks though. Most tracks I am closer to inch and half. But even the bumpiest track tends to be smoother than most roads. I did have AVO 50mm springs on a road car at one point, But I was not happy with them. The suspension just jumped through the travel and was very nasty to drive. I blew a few dampers and killed a drive shaft as well. I also had a set of spax springs that were supposedly not quite as low but they looked about the same. Had the same sort of problems. My car now is standard and I am very happy with it as it is. For a road car it has to be the best setup. I may get some slightly harder springs though.

[Ryan]

he also ran them with the soft 50mm gmc springs, which is why he was sideways all the time.

as i said im not 100% sure as off the top of my head i cant remeber the damping rates needed. and the lb of each set of bars at 21,22,23mm

[bullit]

ahh he would been better with some uber stiff faulkners then

[Ryan]

ahh he would been better with some uber stiff faulkners then

yes he was going to change them i heard before he bent it. the gmc 40mm springs are meant to be a hell of alot better than the 50s.

Spax Kit -60

[Skorpion]

OK I still aint quite sure if I am being helped here or not. I am only looking for a temporary measure until I can afford a good set of coilovers or I can find a decent set up on some adjustable shocks.
So do Faulkner do 60mm springs??
would they work well with group N bilstein dampers?

the groupN dampers are shorter than a standard damper. thing is the dampers are about 400+ vat irc.. so not worth it if your going coilovers in the long run.

faulkner as far as im aware dont have a 60mm spring as yet.
its worth ringing them and asking as they do diffrerent height and LB springs.

[Skorpion]

Ok cheers.
Any one a good decent set of springs to have just as a short term option?
