Danozeman - 10/12/09 at 05:13 PM

As above. I need to replace my rear springs with shorter one so wheres the best place for 1.9 id springs. I think 7 inch and 175lb. But il have to measure the length.

Hi

Why are you looking for the cheapest option on an item that has so much effect on the handling of the car. For an extra £5 per spring you can have guaranteed quality.

Faulkner springs.

I just got a pair from Faulkner.

2x 8inch 1.9inch i.d. at 125lb/inch came to £48.50 delivered (arrived next day). Excellent service.

Just a price point.

Rally design springs in 1.9inch are yellow. Faulkner are black. If that bothers you.

Rally design dont do a huge range really, when i wanted 6" 2.25 springs i had to go to Faulkner/Merlin. They are pretty good quality though as far as i could see / have heard.

Another vote for Faulkner. Very helpful and quick turnround.

would faulkner be able to advise on best gaugue etc. to get for a specific car type?

Need new rears springs on mine.

Hi

Faulkner wouldent necessarily do that but I'm sure theres more than a few on here who would. And plenty who will tell you what they have as a comparison.

A small point but i test EVERY spring we use. not just when new but after many hours of use also. And the only supplier i use these days to ensure high quality is FAULKNER.

Cheers Matt

I've got a lot of sets of Faulkner springs and they are great! I usually buy them from Merlin as the retailer!
