New Spring for jester kitcar
jester - 24/2/19 at 06:43 PM

Just brought what was a road going jester 10 years ago turn's out the owner used it as a rally car by the state of underneath when it was last drove

the spring it turns out have been cut down way to short so I am looking at changing them.

So was looking at doing the shocks as well as I have to take it all part to do the springs

the jester looks to have the standard oil/hydraulic shocks that are rusted up

I have seen some gas one's listed for sale that say they are an upgrade to the standard one's

Anybody input would be good

The car is a lot lighter than the doner car a Mk1 Fiesta

I've got a pair of front ones off a Mk2.
They're Spax gas adjustable, seem to be leak free and adjusters still work OK.
Only took them off as the car came with a brand new pair.
Also have a single rear one but the adjuster has sheared off.

I am looking for new one's. For what they cost new with Guarantee (that's not spax mind there hundreds of pounds new)

No probs, but these are free if you want to try them?
