Paul318UK Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 Hi All,Does anyone know the official standard spring rate and free length?It will help me keep the correct ride hieght whilst looking at alternative stiffnesses,Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieB Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 Looks like 180LB 12.35"http://www.teglerizer.com/triumphstuff/springs.htmHe's actually got the part no wrong, it should be TKC1884 but the fitted length & rate are right so hopefully the free length is right.

Paul318UK Posted May 13, 2007 Author Share Posted May 13, 2007 Thanks for that,Interestingly it is the same rate as the Reliant Scimitar, although that spring has a free length of 14".I want to go about 20% - 25% stiffer depending on how the free lengths available work out.Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieB Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 Depending on what shocks you have, 2.5" ID coilover springs may fit, available in almost any length/rate combination from motorsport suppliers.Mine are 350lb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul318UK Posted May 13, 2007 Author Share Posted May 13, 2007 Doing a quick calculation, a 350lb 10" spring would keep a similar ride height. Are yours 10" or have you got adjustable seats? Whats the ride like? Is it combined with lower profile tyres?Idealy I would want a 250lb 11" units with my std 13x155 tyres on 5 1/2" rims.Any idea where I can find 11" springs? All the listings I find are 8,10.12,14. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieB Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 Mine are lowered with adjustable seats & 175/70x13 tyres.Demon Tweeks do 10.5" x 300lb which would keep a similar ride height but I would recommend lowering (along with a block for the rear) to improve the handling.
