LTWT springs vs parabolics

<< < (4/4)

Timi:

--- Quote from: "damian t" ---I might be changing the springs o my 86" Series 1, I'd like a set of parabolix, but the cost...!  I've heard that Lightweight springs will fit, and having only 7 leafs, might be as good as para's.  Does anyone have any experience?

Cheers...

Sometimes by dowsing your leafsprings in oil allows them to work properly. as a cheap short term alternative, if your swinging shakles are stiff this could cause harsh ride as would knackered dampers.

Just a quick thought.

Hi

The para's i fitted to mine were for a LW and fitted fine with no cutting

damian t:
Plenty of different opinions... the decision will have to be made after I've fixed her clutch and fitted new swivels, brgs, & seals!  

Yes Chris, she was for sale, but my wife deleted all my e-mithers by accident the other day, and lost the details of the two blokes that were interested in her... an omen perhaps?  Besides, I have another article in this coming months '4x4 Mart' advertising the Smurf for sale, so if she goes I'll need something to commute in!

Laters...
