in need of some advice

Post by suzukisteve » Mon Mar 11, 2013 9:33 am

mornin guys. just having a look yesterday at my rather rather saggy front springs.

basically the fronts are a single leaf on each side. now they are looking a little worse for wear and are actually flat now.

the rears have two leaves and aren't looking too bad.

the question is what route do I take? add a leaf? new springs? lifted springs?

just dont know what to do! money is tight as well due to saving for a house! dammit! lol

The fronts are pretty much flat normally anyway.

Anyway if you are looking to replace get a decent set of lift springs IMO.

Later 410s sometimes have 'parabolic' leafs these are single at the front and 2 leaf at the rear. All others have normal leafs with 3 leafs up front and 4 in the rear I think.
