Jono.C Posted December 27, 2011 Report Posted December 27, 2011 Ha. The cops will notice the locker a mile before cut springs. Quote
Toy-Yoda[RL] Posted December 27, 2011 Report Posted December 27, 2011 Ha. The cops will notice the locker a mile before cut springs. QFT. That and you doing your hectik skids in the rain..... Quote
altezzaclub Posted December 27, 2011 Report Posted December 27, 2011 Do the tyres scritch and scrub when you're driving into a carpark at walking speed? How is the understeer now? Does it push straight ahead more? I can see its better than having one wheel light up, but its such a poor compromise compared to having a clutch pack in there. Keep it high and hard, the cops don't notice high. Quote
Heath. Posted December 27, 2011 Author Report Posted December 27, 2011 mine is actually really good... like when we cracked her open my whole diff had been redone... and looked fresh as. but that aside... anyone know anything about some good springs? or are the ajps suckas pretty good.. Quote
lildavo Posted January 5, 2012 Report Posted January 5, 2012 I ordered springs through AJPS once. Took 2 months to get to me and when they arrived they weren't what I ordered and I've got a feeling he just gets a spring place in SA (aurora springs?) to make them up and then put his own tax on it. If I got springs again I would probably just chop falcon springs up, Save a couple of hundred $ and probably be more satisfied. Also lots of places are to make up any kind of custom spring with the diameter/height/strength you need, AFAIK King springs offer this service... Quote
BlueKsev Posted January 6, 2012 Report Posted January 6, 2012 Have a look at 97ish model rav4 rear springs man, saw some at the wreckers, look perfect size and firmness for the front springs in a ke70. I had them next to ke70 standards, they're probably 5mm bigger diametre but should still fit better then falcons. They were about the same length that i cut ke70 one down to. Quote
Heath. Posted January 7, 2012 Author Report Posted January 7, 2012 (edited) hahaha no sH&t rav 4 springs? hahah that would be pretty cool. and there wouldnt be any mistake with the parts btw my mate lives in perth and he will actually go there buy them and send them to me. he has a ke70 him self too so with all luck i would get the right ones. or... i could go in the other direction and get some coils for the front and most likly the coon springs in rear... but then it would be like driving with bloody blocks insted of springs >.< Edited January 7, 2012 by Heath.
