steely dan Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 After 25 years fitted the time has come to replace the lowered road springs on my Manta B. I was never 100% happy with them as they fronts have always been compressed ( under no load ) to the point where the top four coils were touching ( coil bound ) and therefore reducing the travel of the springs. The ride is very hard . I cannot recall the manufacturer . So who is the preffered supplier nowadays for a 30mm drop for road use ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rutts Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 spax still do akit with shocks or just the springs, think you have to ring them up not usually listed on web sites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steely dan Posted August 15, 2012 Author Share Posted August 15, 2012 (edited) Well I trawled through the history file (suitcase) ... and guess what , they're Spax fitted in August 1988 . I guess no ones fitting lowered spring kits to Mantas anymore eh ? ......... Edited August 15, 2012 by steely dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJM Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Hello AVO do a set, but there has been some problems in the past with fitment. ID of the springs to small for some Mantas. I can get bespoke springs made but dearer than Spax. Only differerence I can offer different poundage to suit your needs. £165 set of 4 springs upto 499lb rating. Painted black. P&P extra and delivery time of 2-3 weeks. If you are looking for a basic lowering kit then Spax will be fine. I can offer these at £129.99 a set lowering 40mm or £139.99 a set for 55mm lowering (I would suggest shortened dampers with anything above 40mm lowering). P&P extra.
