coilover helper springs

[Von Loxlee]

coilover helper springs and the bit that goes in between the helper and the normal spring mainly, i cant find them anywhere except merling motorsport for 15 quid each! which is ridiculouse for a tiny bit of metal!

 

anybody know where i can get anything like this?

ermm why do you need them ????

 

if you have say 200 ib springs and they drop out then go for a longer 100 spring ..

 

the normal reason for using helpers is when the suspension travel is so short from ride height to full bump that using a longer softer spring would mean it goes coilbound ..

 

If you have the length right you can use a 100lb spring ..

after 1 inch of compression its now a 200 lb spring .. after another inch its 400 lb ..

 

so if you have a gap of 1 inch then use a 100lb spring that longer by an inch buy the time its settled to where your 200lb/inch spring sits its a 200 spring if you get me

 

On my race escorts the rear dampers are a custom length, shorter than the short tarmac dampers that standard Gp4 cars use .. but the springs are the same length as forrest springs .. just a lighter poundage
