Parabolic springedys
« on: May 27, 2009, 19:44:21 »
Im looking for a set of paras for my series i origianly wanted rocky mountain but there a bit pricey,
Bearmach are out of stock on the front springs which is a pain as i wanted inch lift ones, i have found some standard hight ones here

Just wondering what everybody thought or have used these springs also if there are any other brands that are available.

Alrite mate,

I found you get what you pay for when it comes to Paras'. If it is going to be along term investment then wait a little and get good springs and shocks.

Cheers

I have Rocky Mountain ones with an extra leaf in the rear.

Sits nice and high and has an eight inch gap between the top of the tyres and the wheel arches when sat on 7.50x16 tyres (31 inches tall)

Only thing is they look really small and skinny on it which is why I've just bought a set of 265/75x16's for it.

Really good articulation, but that may be down to having five kids in the back of it.
