    Looking to get a set of springs made for the front of my altezza

    Wanting 62mm inside diameter
    200mm length
    14kg/mm

    Doing this so I can put my 10kg from the front to the back as it rubs going over bumps at the moment.

    Where have people used for getting springs made

    I was gonna say 14kg is weak to spend the bucks on custom.

    Get a 30 up front and a 20 on the back it'll feel ace.

    also length, 200mm is a long ass spring, if you are increasing the rate then a decrease in spring length is advised unless your running 4x4 spec gayness

    so i never got round to ordering from BC as my wife had our baby boy instead.

    now looking into getting back to the tezz and was thinking about getting a full set of springs instead of just new fronts.

    was thinking about 18/16kg/mm front /rear

    or 16/14

    waht you lot think

    i know pete run 18/16 for a while if i read his build right what was it like

    taking your advice jites and going 180mm instead

    Good shout on the spring length, didn't think about that yet. Also looking into other spring rates for my Altezza, as I'm planning on running it pretty low. Currently have HSD Mono's with a 9/7kg setup. As I'm not planning on battling body roll with spring rates (I have set of ARC swaybars to fit, +146% F and +217% R) I'm wondering if a 12/9 setup will do, as 18/16 seems really stiff to me let alone going even stiffer than that.

    If you are still looking for decent springs in a variety of specs and sizes, get in touch with Faulkner Race Springs

    Jesus...I sound like a bloody advert!

    But aye, if you are going "Custom" go meaty specs! 200kg springs :p
