Parabolic Springs

Job done. Could have been a lot easier had the springs come with fitting instructions - or had I not been given the wrong instructions over the phone.

Getting over the rage now as I have the new springs on and the pleasure of driving my cruiser with parabolics.

Just to recap... My origional springs were just a bit flat so I replaced them but they didn't give me the lift I was looking for.

I wanted to change the springs primarily to improve the ride height. I know Parabolics are meant to give great articulation - but that's not really relevant to me..

The parabolics are good. They ride well and are comfortable - but, they are the firm side of comfortable. I imagine they will improve with age. They have given a good lift - 4 inches higher than the origional Toyota springs which were very sagged. They look good too - see the pics.

I would say they are great value for money. They cost only a little more than the chaepo rubbish springs I have replaced and are about half the price of all the alternatives.

Cheers, Jim
