The rear springs are just too hard, you can swap these for some softer rears (which I sell ) and the car will then drive how you want it to . I suspect that at the moment, the rear feels skittish and the ride is jarring?

Do you think its just the rears that are too hard Mike?
I have a set of Gaz coilover to go on my saph (when built ) and i have heard that new softer springs would be best.
Whats the price of them too? PM if you like.


Thanks

Mart.

£59 delivered for the rears - the fronts are pretty much spot-on, so I would replace just the rears first and see how you get on .

Are the springs divided into grades or somekind of codes or number or something so its possible to know whats what? Whats the diffrent from the original ones and the ones you sell Mike? Are they diffrent in thickness or lenght? And what is the part number on the ones you sell Mike?
