.. its blue!

Picked mine up today, hopefully fitted tomorrow, so I'll let you know how I get on!

Alex

 

Mine are on order...

Blue springs, nice!

 

Hang on, another advert for Mr. Wood

Dan

 

I'm Gutted now

Went for the eibachs (which are excellent) but there not blue

I wanted Blue


LOL

Phil

 

I can't get them because my insurance co. doesn't have any more space on their database for another mod on my car (True)
So if I want the springs I have to take something else off
Chuck

 

Danny F - LOL

Phil - sorry mate, but they are a almost a non-metalic WR Blue as well!

Chuck - you're kidding! You should speak to Rum mate, he'd sort you out!

LOL

Phil

 

Chuckster - LOL, but shocked as well! I guess you will be looking around for a new insurance company now.

Alex - You got colour co-ordinated springs!?! How flash are you?

 

Chuckster

I thought it was normal to take off the existing springs when fiting new ones ....?

Duncan

Off to the Muppet Forum ....

.. they fitted now, thanks to Andrew.

first impressions, not had much of a go on 'em yet, but nice increase of weight to the steering and definitely less body roll... well worth it..

Surprisingly enuff though, same geo settings as the old car.

I'll post more tomorrow, when I've had a chance to test in anger (ish)

Alex

 

Saw yours at Cheam, got my Defi's fitted there today

Be interested to see what you think of the springs.

Cheers

Simon

 

Yes you did mate... Andrew mentioned you had been in... we must catch up soon!

Take it easy ,Alex

PS. Still not tested 'em properly.. too wet, icey and dark!

 

Glad that the first impression was good Alex.

 

Right, had a bit more of a go on them now..

The biggest improvement I can feel is stability under breaking from the national speed limit

Where as before you had to fight with the steer under hard breaking, it is much more confident/stable.

Body roll is definitely reduced substantially.

As for how it effects the ride, it does (obviously) make it slightly harder, but not horrifically so. Infact if you have 18"s on anyway (as i have), you won't notice a huge difference. If anything it seems to have "quietened" the front/rear end down.

And finally, although it hasn't bedded in yet, it does decrease the gap in the arches between the wheel and the arch in just the right way, makes the car look wider from the front and the wheels don't look as though they've been swallowed by the car!

All in all, very please with them, and would whole heartilly recommend them. Especially if you do a lot of A/B road journey's as I do, as they don't turn the car into a go-kart!

Alex
is the load tranfer diminished?

Caronte

 

I'm having a blonde day, could you explain what you mean!?

If you mean weight shift whilst changing the turn from left to right, due to the reduction in body roll, the car does NOT suffer so badly from the weight shifting from one side to the other... more control for the driver.

yes i ment that. So the shift is still present?. mmmmm not as good as i like.

Caronte

 

hmmm.
By 'does suffer' I presume our pseudo-blonde friend Alex means 'doesn't suffer', ie load transfer IS diminished.

ah, that's more likely
Thx

 

Doh!.. yes Chuck, thats what i meant, I've edited my post to reflect this...

Scott
