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

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.

fitted 250lbs 9" to my avo's onthe front with 8" 180lbs on the back for road use.
mind you at the front i have 1 to 1 rocking arms with inboard upright dampers

Yes these are for the front

Im running 9" 250lb springs on the front with an anti roll bar, and the rear 150lb on a live axle set up

With vauxhall XE in a bookish car with IRS I have 275lb front and 140lb rear.

250-275 lbs sounds more like it, thanks.
Now, where can i get some from ?

cheers

Dean
