Springs ?
Hi Guys,
I am building a Book'ish 7 (i say 'ish' as it has MK wishbones) with a pinto engine and box.
I have a pair of coilovers off a Vauxhall VX220 which will fit but the springs are not strong enough.
Can anyone suggest what poundage springs i should use (300, 350lbs ??) and where is the best place to get them ? the standard VX220 ones are
1.9" ID and 9 1/2" long
cheers
Dean

If you cant the springs you want anywhere I can put you in touch with a firm that will make whatever you want at reasonable money, are they front or
rear ? 300-350 sounds a lot either end of the car.

With vauxhall XE in a bookish car with IRS I have 275lb front and 140lb rear.
Retro RWD is the way forward...........automotive fabrication, car restoration, sheetmetal work, engine conversion
retro car restoration and tuning
