Just put springs under the rear of my saff and it's sitting stupidly high even after a trip up the road so after some pics to see how they after they've settled in

 

Hi mate, mines on Ahmeds and Konis all round






cheers jason

 

Mine on the same as above Lee

 

Yea I think it's just the shock cos how low it sat before lol this is how it was before

 

Old pic of mine when it was on koni/Ahmed's

 

Always looking immaculate Kev , will get some pics up of mine tomoz night

 

Cheers Lee

 

My saff is on ahmed/koni's lee

 

I've got bilstein shocks

 

Different shocks don't raise the car do they?

 

On the rear the shocks don't matter for the ride height. On the front it could be, if the shock has a different length (like for instance an Escos shock vs sapph 4x4, the spring seat is located higher on the Escos).

A 6 degree beam will make the rear sit higher due to the changed spring/wheel leverage ratio though.

Who sells these springs? really need to raise mine a bit

 

I got mine from Mike Rainbird pal

 

I totally disagree with you on this as you know Jay, mine drove terrible on coil overs, in fact Sheady's words were, that drives fucking terrible

My setup now is night & day

 

Jay, you do talk shit sometimes

Sheady builds Time Attack cars mate

Yes coil overs for those cars needed, but for a road car of my power and yours not needed.

 

I have mine a little go up the road the other night and with the new springs under the rear it does feel very hard to what it used to be , but that might be due to the springs gone weak

 

jay what silver was used on those wheels on the postvan, they look great and really suit it

 

gold ftmfw jay

 

one day you will learn that gold is the way

 

Seconded here brother Jay !

 

If these springs don't sit right I'm gonna go coil overs are the gaz ones the best as I'm already watching a set on eBay

 

You're gonna have a slap Sunday

 

I've seen Cossie's on this Koni/Leda setup and it's not something i'd want to be running, they don't do roundabouts very well

 

i have also ahmed springs with konis,i don't like them at all.Difficult to drive because of the sloppy bound they have epecially at the front.
the car used to have some unknown coilovers in front and bilstein with some harder springs in the back and it was like a train

 

So Jay would you go for coilovers over 6 degree rear beam? As they're similar money

 

I always thought that 6 degree beam with rose joints would make it a very hard ride which wouldn't be nice for a road car

 

I will have to make a decision which way to jump at the end of the summer cos I'm ripping the beam and cleaning up the underneath next winter

 

Fpmsl at Jay amd Pete bickering. I sopose we all like different. Ive got Konis on mine, fook knows what the springs are. It handled better than it used to. Like Jay says when your on 18.s with laggy band tyres the ride is a bit harsh. I just except that the car is bloody old and there are better handling cars out there. But cossies are mint so there.

 

A beam over anything this is the best way.

My saff is currently on 17s koni's and unknown springs and it sits too low, can't get the jack under it! I want to change back to standard wheels but I'm guessing it will sit even lower then?

Does anyone have any experience of running Ahmed springs with konis with standard wheels as I was about to order some in the hope of raising my car up a little before the wheel swap

Cheers
Matt

 

I've got gaz coilovers all round 450lb spring rate on the front and 250lb on the rear scs 6 degree rear beam gripper diff and handles awesome

 

 

Looks mint this dan really love this saff

 

Thanks mate worth all the effort in the end

 

Yea know what ya mean , what sort of power you running ?

 

400/400 from Harvey at scs
