New Springs

[summeh]

i think mark was charging 116 including vat and delivery correct me if im wrong you just tell him the height and poundage u want.

[Mark_Ritchspeed]

£115 including delivery. These are for one off poundage and ride height. If their was enough call for say 3-4 sets of the same height/poundage I can probably get that down to around £105 for the pair delivered.

Remember though ,these are custom made, so expect a turnaround of up to 3 weeks between ordering and delivery.

I just have to work out a way of persuading the supplier that they have given the garage the wrong springs and I'll have a set of those springs then. A picture of my car should be enough proof

Is there 2 or 3 other Willy owners that fancy buying some std spec springs from Mark?!

Cheers for the help people.

If those springs are right tell them ill have 10 sets

[Zollo]

Before shooting the spring supplier down in flames, I'd like to be 100% sure they've given me the wrong specification of spring.

So, does anybody know....

1. The Free Length of the standard Williams spring and the standard poundage.

2. The standard front ride height, measured from the centre of the wheel to the wheel arch.


Cheers

[Mark_Ritchspeed]

Standard poundage is 125lbs. Will let you know on free height.

[Zollo]

Right, well even with your springs it isn't right Mark, as it still sits too high. Your springs had one less coil on than the wrong pattern ones and it has dropped 10mm, to 335mm between arch and wheel centre, so it's definately better than before. But still I get vague handling and a rear-view mirror full of road. And it still looks stupid!

Perhaps the shocks are wrong? Am I being think? Is there anything else on the car that effects ride height other than the springs?!

[Martin]

PIc!

[northy]

should look like this at the front...standard new springs when i first got it.

[Zollo]

Oh how I wish it looked like that :( .

Here's a pic of it with the pattern springs on...



Haven't got a digicam with me to take one with Mark's springs on. But do shortly....
