Afternoon All,
I,ve been looking at the Dampertech offer of 4 dampers and springs for £250. In the MK build manual it says that the rear springs are rated at 200lb and the fronts are 350lb. Further on in the manual it says the fronts are 300lb.If I order from Dampertech which do I need?

Does anyone know of a retail outlet that sells silicone grease for the Poly bushes, can't find anyone local.

Regards
David

We got 200 on the back and 350 on the front with the kit. It depends on what engine you have in the front as obviously a pinto weighs alot more than a bike engine. We have a pinto by the way.

Also we used Castrol CL grease, it is a chassis grease and im guess ok for the bushes. I hope so as they are firmly in the wishbones and on the car now! You can pick up 500g pots of it from Halfords.

As greggors say it must be too do with the engine you fit and thus the sprung weight. I got 200 for the back and 300 for the front using a ZX9R bike engine.

if you give him a ring he will tell u what spring rates u need.
