Smile South Yorkshire Springs CoilSpring Info

Bought a pair of AVO springs off S13eater ( thankyou very much)
And set about finding rears to match.

first stop was AVO for a set of rears. they were very very ill mannered about the whole thing said they only did 4 spring kits,would'nt give rates and eventually said could do just rears and would be 6 wks to order, when they had a kit ready to go off the shelf.

Rang South Yorkshire Springs (01709 375375) and talked to Tony, he was very accomodating and said they had the specs for -30mm and -40mm rears rated at 250lb for £50+vat

Now I wondered if anyone could tell me which would be the best match for my front AVO's which are -35mm, I have a 1988 MK2.

Althought they are 300lb springs you arent seeing 300lbs at the hub, due to leverage because the spring is inset more on the swing arm.

I dealt with several times and the service and product are very good. I sent him the specs on the OE springs for the MKI/II so you can just say eg 30% uprated -30mm etc.

When I got them they were 25 each spring as long as they are made on a Run of other springs. Otherwise he won't light the fire for just one set. They will fit as standard ones do but you have to be careful when they get over
-25mm. They will then only be held in place on the fronts by the weight of the car and not the strut.

i could do with changing either the springs or shocks on the back, i've noticed that its been jumping a bit over pot holes, when you press each side on the rear, the left side feels softer, i'am using kyb's and avo springs, they are only a year old, something has gone tits up .
