Lowering Springs and shocks near Derbyshire

Featured Replies

Looking for the above, 60/40 or something like that. Must be in good condition and be all the parts to get the car low!

Can collect this weekend :)

I can sort you the springs out. You'll need dampers though!

Cheers Daniel, I'm a spaz!

How much you looking for for the springs Karl? What drop are they? and have you got front and rears?

Cheers :)

They're a full set (front and rear) 60/40, made by TA technix. Covered around 500 miles. 200 miles on Borednow's Derby and 300 miles on my Coupe S. £40, and I'm on your door step too :wink:.

Hmm they'd be better for £35 :p

Dya think they'd bugger standard dampers pretty quickly? Just need to source them :)

With 40mm on the rear, you should be alright with standard dampers. 60mm however, you'll need uprated dampers to cope.

If you're having them this week for definite you can have them for £35 collected, but I cant go any lower as they're already a bargain as is!

I'll have em tonight?, I'll stick the 40's on the front for the time being as thats what looks the worst (highest) atm. Then get some dampers when I can afford..

How easy a job is it to change the springs?

I'm afraid you wont be able to fit the 40mm on the front, as the springs are different between the front and rear.

The fronts are the short, fat springs pictured in this thread: Click!

As for changing them, its not too bad a job, as long as all the nuts and bolts play ball. You'll need spring compressors and a ball joint splitter, and soak everything in WD40 daily for a week before you're planning on lowering the car.

It took me 3 hours last weekend to change shocks and springs on my Mark2, but it had all been apart previously and I had access to ramps and air tools!

Cool, is tonight alright for collection then matey? just let us know your address and best time if so, will have to be after sort of 7pm.

Cheers.

Tonights fine, PM heading your way :wink:.

60 will probably need new dampers but it will be fine temporarily on standards, they dont destroy them that quickly.

also, not quite sure why my comment got deleted..?

anyways, karl GLWS and VWLex GLWB ;)

Yeah how odd!

Got the springs now!, having some gearbox issues, so dampers on hold! :(

I have rear TA Technix adjustable dampers. You'll need a pair of spring seats but cheap enough to come by on here. PM me if interested.
