corsa front spring question

[alan b]

i have a brand new set of pi corsa gsi springs here, stamped on them is 60-216 i no there 60mm springs but does the 216 mean poundage? because if they were i could use them to get me by with the red top nova until i have enough for the coilovers(avos) cheers.

IIRC thats just the part number and has no real relevance to the physical aspect of the spring.

[Philsutton]

the corsa ones will no doubt be higher poundage due to the extra weight of them over novas but dont expect it to handle standard nova / corsa, in fact it'll be worse

[alan b]

why would it be worse? ill be useing them with spax dampers? cheers.

[Philsutton]

oh right thats not too bad then, my comment was with regards to standar shockers

I pulled a set of them off a Nova a while back, and when I checked the part number with PI stuff in a catalogue they were 40mm lower, not 60.

The corsa rally car i looked after in the past had Capri front springs fitted on the front !! sounds wierd but it works!!
