tamiya short spring set

[Chris UK]

Anyone have the length of these springs? want to know if theyl fit on my super low friction alu shocks to help lower my ride height. Says for use on the CVA dampers but doesn't mention the trf dampers. Obviously, i will want the springs to fit with the dampers when still set to their shortest length.

Can anyone help? [?]

Those should fit the TRF dampers without problem. If they are a bit short, you can adjust with the 2 retainer nuts; unscrew them a bit. This way the springs will be push down a bit to extend the rideheigth and shock travel (in case it would get too short). If the damper is fully extended already it will just give some 'pre-load' to the spring. Hope this helps. [8D]

Hi im not looking to extend the rideheight though, my car's siting too high about 10mm, needs to be 5mm. i have added a couple of o rings inside the damper but hasn't made much differnce, only a mm or so.

oops, yeah i see what you're saying - if the damper was to get too short. Will these springs allow me to get my ride height down to say 5mm?

If your shocks are getting too short (and the shock body length is shorter compared to on alu dampers I got) I think you are already as low as you can get... So you could get around -5mm maybe, if that's what your after. []

Those springs will let you have a lower ride height.

It's MUCH better to fit short springs than to put spacers inside the shocks to force the car lower (it will mess up the handling).

alrite thanks. Ill get some of them then. i think someone at my coub wanted to sell some to get rid of them as he has a new car now and dont need the short ones. See what his price is...
