saggy back end

Post by ALLAN »

I've had good service from Midland Road Springs in the past. They replaced a couple of broken leafs and re-arched my saggy springs for me.

Brost forge and Paddington springs could both refurbish your exsisting leafs.

Bite the bullet. http://p-s-t.com/c-1176306-suspension-c ... rings.html Get them shipped to Ron Fentons place over there and they will come here in his container.

Hi all. Ive seen the name rob Fenton on a few posts and am wondering what the link is. Can anyone send something to his place? What's the address? I need to order floor pans. Would he be ok with this? Shipping for these is really expensive. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Search for STS Imports on the web for Ron Fenton, he is a member here also. Yes you send stuff to his place in Florida and he ships it in a container every couple of months, I used him to bring a front valence in, very reasonable ðŸ‘￾

I've seen good reports about the 'ESPO' leaf springs, but i haven't seen any prices advertised.

Thanks Steve & Ali. I believe you can tell then what ride height you want ie stock, plus 1" or minus 1" etc. Takes a bit of the guesswork out.

Update... Brigg Springs is now an Aldi :( would seem that a lot of small spring companies have given up ,but thanks to Dr Dave B in the Yorkshire Badlands its been sorted, whilst he was fettling the brakes he cast his magic over the rear end (of the car) re-profiled and an extra leaf. certainly improved the car no end. :D
