standard 240gl springs

[sam1]

anybody got any standard 240GL (1988) suspension springs? 4 of! mine were cut by the previous owner, car looks great but very low when towing so need to replace really. any condition as long as useable! cheers

Sam if you like the lowered look but do not want to crape the floor when towing then consider a set of my lowering springs as they are designed to still allow you to use a 240 for what it was built for- towing and filling up with stuff

i do like the look but i am not fussed! to be honest i think i would prefer standard springs if it makes the ride nice and soft - i like to achieve the most lazy soft ride as possible, just for comfort and so its like an old american wagon wobbling all over the place!

standard rear springs are useless with a car on lpg and towing the backend is really sorft you need to remeber there is a lot of extra wight with the lpg tank in the boot

Do you want to sell the cut ones once you've found replacements?

how come standard springs are useless? surely standard springs will stop the back end grounding every time i go over a speed bump when im towing?

Got a spare set of fronts you're welcome to FOC, but I am so far away from Surrey and they weigh a ton !

You need stiffer than standard rear springs for the back to take the extra weight of the LPG tank. If you want it back to original height and not bottom out then overload or cargo springs will be needed

uesd ones narmley have gone week so with wight on them they drop like mad ive been running 240 myself for over 10 years on lpg and towing and ive had to fit stronger springs on the rear and i fit proper lowering springs to the front. Cut springs should not be used and cars can be failed on mot with cut springs fitted
