G'day all,

Looking for a pair of "super low" front springs to suit an HR front end.  Can buy them new, but thought I would ask here first in case anyone has a pair and wants to get rid of them.

I think my old "cut" front ones are due for retirement........

Cheers, Graeme

Sorry mate , but for years my mates have told me that my cars stand up like scared cats . Here's something you might be able to use . When building my V6 Vauxhall I accidently bought [was looking for std V8 ] a set of 1" lowered V8 coils for my LC Torana front end, obviously too low and too hard . So I found a set of rubber coil seating blocks [not sure what they call them ] from the rear of 90's Commodores and placed them up inside the Torana spring towers . What it has done is to restore correct ride height [tyres caught on the front guards] ,solved the pig tail ends on the V8 coils and most importantly softened the start of the suspension travel while still stiffening the ride . Just thought this might be useful one day . Cheers Haydn

Hmmm, that sounds interesting and worth following up and just might give me that little bit of clearance I need, thanks Haydn.
