Nick B. Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 HiWhere do I find a decent source for 480lbs front spring - spitfire mk3? Got a partnumber?RegardsNick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnD Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Nick,Every performace part seller on Earth has access to a wider range of coil springs than you could imagine. For instance, Demon Tweeks catalogue has a whole half page table of springs from 100-1200 lbs and 6-14" long (I'm quoting from memory, and this is NOT to recommend DT as a value seller, they are more into blue LEDs and 1500W speakers nowadays). FInd a local performance shop - A pair suitable for your Spitfire (480/9"??) will cost maybe £50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT6Steve Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 I found great joy in the Eibach catalog if you can get them in the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick B. Posted October 22, 2007 Author Share Posted October 22, 2007 Thanks all, this is good information. However - I had hoped for something more simple like "Canley classisc F67" or similar, where I do not have to go into details.Kind regardsNick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick B. Posted October 22, 2007 Author Share Posted October 22, 2007 OK, sent faulkners a mail. Lets see what they come up with.Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted User Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 what shox you got? if they are adjustables, (which id recomend) then just get some 480's in 8 or 9" length, sorted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Moore Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 A lot of springs are 2.25" internal diameter, but Triumph ones are 2.5". You can fit the smaller ones if you have the appropriate dampers (eg AVO). As for emailing, it often works, but even the best sales department can loose an email but they all answer the phone.

Nick B. Posted October 23, 2007 Author Share Posted October 23, 2007 Ordered 2 pairs of AVOs adjustable. Living in denmark, it costs a fortune to call sales departments. And I am not going to pay one pound pr. minute to listen to some crap music while waiting. So far I have had good luck with mailing. 5 years ago was another story though.!!Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
