70mm springs

[luke langton]

I have Avo suspension kit on my nova gsi lowered by 60mm but I wasn?t happy with the rear, it looked too high! So I bought some 70mm springs for the rear which look great now but if I have anybody in the back it bottoms out ocassionally. Has anyone experience this? Any suggestions welcome.

Mine is lowered 60mm on 15s, and with 3 people in it going down a fairly bumpy road, it didnt buttom out or rub once, the ride was very bumby, but didnt rub etc...


Where did you get 70mm springs from?

[NickWalliams]

Its goin to rub, think about it 70mm plus some1 in back??? low :lol:

[peester]

got poly bumpstops?? maybe try stiffer shocks?? who and how do that im not sure - are your avo's damping adjustable??

[luke langton]

There from coilsprings they custom make any size! When it was lowered 60mm on 16s it didn?t rub or bottom out once with a full car. But I want to keep the 70mm springs on there.

[luke langton]

Yeah they are adjustable dampers, I have thought about adjusting the shocks harder which I will do, hopefully that will solve the problem.

try shorter bumpstops....

dont use your shocks to hold the car up - they are designed to dampen bumps not do the job of springs

Shorter bump stops?
I don?t want to act stupid but I didn?t think the rear had bump stops, where are they ? obviously I know the front has them, where can I get shorter ones from?
