My 'Rabid' has got far too much fresh air betwixt wheel and arch. Needs to be less. Not a fan of cut springs, esp with the grief I give cars over crappy tarmac, so want something to go LOW! (the lower the better). Anyone got owt or know where I can get some.   |

-35/40 ain't low! SM project bottle rocket had a set of AVO shocks and springs - for a 5/4 (that's inches!) drop. According to the SM article (suspension instalment July '95 issue) they were supplied by Motech - the number given is 01604 30918...I'm not sure if this is the same company, but it seems likely: www.motechdirect.co.uk |

have you got anywhere near you that makes springs? theres a few round here..... can specify your own drop / spring rates then. I don't think they're that much more expensive than off the shelf springs either |

There's Scanda Springs across in Buntingford if you want to get some custom coils made Pog. Very helpful people. |

Follow your dreams or you might as well be a vegetable. |

40mm is only just over 1.5"! It took a lot more than 35mm to get down here, in fact I'd guess it was closer to (in mm just for you youngsters) about 70mm:  There's alway hydraulics of course!:  |
