SPADGE

What are the spring ratings that you have used????

lower the settings right down then go from there.

Doug

Ive set the rears to 3 notches on mine and seems fine unsure of the fronts as ive not had to adjust them but like Spadge sais spring ratings play a big factor in the equation too .

i realy cant remember but it was the one i bought off you spadge the new set that you had

SPADGE

That set were for a 2wd Saff mate so probably the wrong springs for an Escos! The springs that come with AVO's are usually the wrong ones for the car they were made for so you have no chance lol

have you got the red rubber jonnys on them still if so thke the crap of as you must have it low and they are acting as a bump stop i had this on mine when i fitted avos sent them back they said nothing wrong with them you could try putting the hight up and see if i am right first but that was what it was on mine good luck

Ian M500COS

Rear spring rates should be 200lb max - ideal for road use is 170lb or 180lb - just my opinion from my past experiences.
