Custom springs
« on: January 25, 2011, 08:17:19 pm »
Right I have recently purchased a Mk5 1.6 FSI and have fitted JOM coilovers.

They dont go low enough for me and am wanting to get some custom springs made up to allow me to drop it how i want it...

Where do i get springs made up and what sort of price will i be looking at?

Cheers

We can get custom springs made to spec, need to know the current length and width of the spring and we have the poundages for all mk5 platforms already. Usually around £100 for front pair and £85 for rears.

So do you need the internal diameters of the top and the bottem of the spring? also how much lower will the car go with the springs you suply or do i need to specify that? cheers

Need the o/d and i/d of the fronts. I take it that the rears are on adjustable platforms, if so then the o/d of the platforms are needed. You could specify a ride height based on the difference you want ftom the current height.

Well i have JOM coilovers with adjustable front and rear and wanting to go lower about 30mm i think but if you did them more i could wind them up and adjust to my liking.....

o/d outside diameter
i/d internal diameter

is that top and bottom of the spring as they differ....



see what i mean???
