-100 mm rear springs

[MPP_RUSSELL]

hey all, its a long story but il get straight to the point, where can i get a set of 100mm rear lowering springs for my nova? coilsprings are quite deer, just wondedred if anyones got any for sale or know of? cheers lads. :D

[dan16v]

the shock would run out of travel on std nova shocks! they are almost bottomed out on 70mm springs! there for i would say you cant lower it 100mm!

[STE Novavanman]

i got some very unsafe though as it will bottom you out as said

[Adam Moran]

Thats -85mm on 16's

and this is -80mm on 16's

Both cars using coilsprings.co.uk springs

IMO you dont want to be going any lower with springs... best bet is to get some adj coilovers :wink:

[NovaBen]

Mines -80mm on 16s and that is low enough! It even scrubs the rear inner arch every now and again with that kind of drop!!!

Shell was nice and the engine is a proper engine. But that rear suspension setup is fucking shit. Its a totally incorrect way of doing what he is trying to do on a nova, i could not (even if i was to search) find a more stunning example of a incredably poorly setout rear suspension setup on any car anywhere in the world.

TBH even stevie wonder could knock up better turrets than those old ones. I said exactly the same in my post when he put pics of it up before. Now i have turreted my nova i can tell where the strong point are and the weak points.

[scott.parker]

Well ok i was not realy thinking about the structual side of things when i posted the pics it was more of how you could get 100mm lowering etc,so i guess i shoud of though about saying he was changing it,sorry.

[MPP_RUSSELL]

ok fellas point taken, 80 -85 sounds good on high poundage springs, but the problem i have is its completely stripped with no weight! ive got -60's on there at the mo and it sits very high. i have also got shortened shocks so it would be ok. Has anyone got any ideas on 80 -85 mm springs for sale? cheers. And also i am using 16 alessios!

[MPP_RUSSELL]

can novavanman email me if you want to sell the springs. see your local perhaps we could meet at some point and try the springs if you would be willing? cash waiting chap.

[MPP_RUSSELL]

my email is throttlehappy@tiscali.co.uk

[scott.parker]

This is mine sat on 60mm springs and spax rsx shox on rear and not sure how low on the front on the coilovers,though its all getting changed as i have bought some Avo coilovers full adjustable.

(oh and mine is striped out as well)

your going to have fook all travel in the suspension with it that low on "normal" springs so you'd need severly shortened shocks to actually get effective damping from the setup....

basically it will be a show car that you "shouldnt" drive lol.

[STE Novavanman]

mine are on shortened tarmac gas remote adjustables shocks you would need some of these to go as low as me

[MPP_RUSSELL]

mine definately sits higher than yours scott, if coilovers are the only option then what ones are available without having to butcher the struts? The fk highsport ones look ok, any info?

[scott.parker]

I belive that Chris and Keith of here are using them FK ones mate so the best bet is to contact them and see what they are like.

scott

[STE Novavanman]

best quallity you can afford is best bet if you can get better get better will pay out in long run i think every one will agree

I am running AVO coilovers and have retained the standard top mount in the rear, although it has been stitch welded. I have had no problems at all and I dont drive my car softly. I know of at least one other person who has the same suspension without the stitch welding and a full interior with a subs and regulary carried 4 people in the car with no problems

Chris

[NovaNeil]

haha, I am still knocking about you know :lol: .......

Work has restarted on the Beast as of yesterday....

Independant rear suspension anyone :P

Neil

[MARTIN KELSON]

I have -100mm springs from coil springs.
I had to have some spacers machined up cos they were slightly to short. I would say if its stripped out like mine -85 to -90 would be more than enough.

[scott.parker]

Sorry about that chris mate i though you had them on yours for some reason :roll:
