Scorpion rear springs
davidlandy:
how or why should it make any difference which way they are fitted????
I thought that the tight coils should be at the top as then it makes the spring retainer plate easy to fit?
hingmy:
Erm i"ve proggressives on and the tighter winding is at the top as OEM. Anyone with a 300tdi disco care to elaborate?
denviks:
my understanding is that the rings spaced further apart give easier first. as they close up the tighter rings dont give so easily.....hense progressive springs :wink:
SteveG:
I have no idea too. You would think they could be fitted either way up and maybe they can, I've just seen on some spring sites that they should always be fitted with tighter springs at the bottom.
How they work is that the wider spaced and lighter springs touch under load and then loading is just what tighter spaced springs can carry. That's how I understand it.
Cheers
Steve
hingmy:
i would agree with Denviks and that was why i went for them - i like the idea that you can have a softer rate on a rapid action speed surface to absorb smaller stuff and a harder rate for longer travel but gentler travelled terrain
