Hi
After a lot of thinking of what to put on my sapphire
Which is for road use only
I’ve decided on refurbish my Koni shocks and fitting the Ahmed springs

Can you still get them
If so where abouts
Cheers

 

I think Koni can do a decent price on full refurb

 

Call mark at grove garage hornchurch were ahmed used to work

 

Thanks mate

 

im sure these are made by leda ,so if you have no luck with grove they may be worth a shout

 

I had my Koni's refurbed by SP Suspension in Spalding

 

Yep give Leda a call, they still make them.

Thanks. Lee.

 

Cheers

just go to leda direct

 

If you do go to Leda direct can you please let us know if they are any cheaper than Mike. Mike does normally have them in stock if Leda don't.

 

Emailed Leda Suspension
Who apparently runs along side Harvey Bailey Engineering
I got this reply
Just update for you on what I got back

If you put Leda suspension in google this company comes up

Harvey Bailey Engineering Ltd
Hi Tim,

There is a lot of myth and voodoo surrounding these springs!

Firstly there is a small vehicle preparation workshop that apparently sells Ahmed Bayjoo springs as Leda Suspension manufactured items in boxes sporting the Leda Suspension logo. Leda Suspension never supplied these springs, they were always supplied by our other brand name Harvey Bailey Engineering.

Secondly, like a number of similar specialists, when preparing and/or specifying suspension, Ahmed would take into account the way the car was to be used and customer preferences with regard to ride height, etc. This means there was a small range of springs available, and different cars/kits had different spring combinations, but were all sold as 'the' Ahmed Bayjoo spring set.

Originally Ahmed approached Harvey Bailey Engineering to design and supply these springs, but later cut HBE out of the equation and had a spring manufacturer in Sheffield manufacture them directly. There were a number of folk apparently questioned the performance of these springs. The rumor mill says eventually Ahmed stopped paying the manufacturer so they fell out with each other, and the supply dried up.

We still have the original specifications of the 3 x front spring and 2 x rear spring variants Ahmed specified, so would need to know more about the car and intended use before we could suggest which would be most applicable. The front springs are all the same rate but there are 3 free lengths differing by 0.5" each. The 2 x rear springs are different fee lengths and rates.

Regarding costs, these springs are not kept in stock as demand has been zero over the last 6 years, so we would have to have them especially manufactured. This would put the price in the region of Ł90 each + VAT

Regards,

Roger

Ahmed told me the reason for different lengths was dependant on which cossie they were for. Ie saph 2wd fronts are slightly different length springs to a 3dr front. There is only 1 length for each vehicle type but a variation on spring rate was available depending on what you wanted. I went for track spec when i got mine but find it quite softly sprung.
Ahmed certainly knew his stuff.

 

I think I’ll be getting them from R&B motorsport
Mike seems the man to go to
and his price is the best

 

I had a few sets from Mike, very decent guy to deal with.

Thanks. Lee.

 

BULLSHIT I spoke many times with Ahmed and even bought my current springs directly from him 4weeks before he unfortunately passed away. Contact Mark at Grove I'm sure he can sort you some.

 

Just spoken with Mark at Grove
He has them made to order and seems to know his stuff
Just got my Burton Power catalogue and they sell them also
But tbh grove seems the original who produced them
Burton power say it’s to AB spec

 

Your in safe hands with mark he was ahmeds best mate

 

So what price are the ones from Grove ... ?

 

Ł170 delivered

 

I take that its only delivered in the UK .. My local place is in DK ..

Any chance you have a mail adress to them ..?
