Parabolics
stevethedent:
Fitting parabolic springs to my 84 ser 3 next week, will let you know how I get on now I have sorted my gearbox drama. (see story and pics headed gearbox dramas.)
I have heard they make a world of difference when driving on the road (no more shattered spine when running over a bus ticket!) and improve articulation on the rough stuff. Any comments from people who have these fitted would be welcome.
Frankie-Boy:
Had para's on my 88 a couple of years ago and they really did help on and off the road, you could drive on tarmac and your eyeballs didn't rattle around and it did improve articulation off the tarmac on mine too.
crazymac:
What you have to remember, is you are replacing probably old worn out springs with new flexible ones? So the difference will be dramatic.
I took a set of old worn out off and replaced with new original ones and that was a transformation, no more crash bangs and spine jarring! Lovely smooth ride.
Unless they have come down considerably in price I don't rate them.
Lucy1978:
Fantastic things as long as you get decent ones, by that I mean don't get sh [-Xpart ones. Despite what people say you can run them quite happily with standard shocks and brake hoses too.
Little-Green-Machine:
brilliant bit of kit i have rocky mountain 2 leaf set up on mine and the ride is brilliant.
