We had them on order, but they didnt arrive in the first shipment, they will be here in the next shipment. One of my reps here is dying to get them on his mini.

toyman, I'll try to get some pics this week if I can, I dont have any rigs here at the moment with them on though.
Steve-o,
Quick question about the parabolics. When you order these puppies do you ask for all of the springs to be the same height? I know the front end is a much shorter height then the back of a 60? Usually you have to have taller leaf packs for the rear springs to make the rig level buying OMU springs etc. Does this same thing apply for the TNT or TIF parabolics?

I thought gonna try with rear TNT 3 leaf 75mm option .. just await someone tri it with a SO 60 series .. 
How about a ramp test before and after?

Tapage you may get your wish. . .
Steve you are impossible to get a hold of. I've tried calling 10 times in the last couple of weeks and your either not there or they can't find you. I need to order a factory fender and I figure while I'm at it I need to talk to you about the parabolics. My biggest issue is I'm SOA but I may change that if I can't get them to work with mine.

change your SO setup .. ? naaaaaa
I've been looking at parabolic springs since before I had really decided to SOA. I would love a stock height parabolic set.

to run 33" or 35" .. ? I thought you don't like huge tires ..
LoL, yeah I wanted the 34x12.5 but it was quite a bit cheaper for the 35x12.5. So I've been on 35"s for a while now. I also wanted 5"s on my SOA and got 6" on the front and 6.5" on the rear. Thats ok I'm learning.
Update for all!
Spoke with Steve and he is now working in an area that doesn't allow as much Mud access. He also told me that for the 60's the original springs weren't to the specs they had requested (length) and he thought the cheaper TNT series was better with those. He said they were working on another shipment to come that fit the specs they wanted.
I'm going to talk to him again this week about getting a set and throwing them on my SOA 60 so we can see what they look like and do.
Which means I'll have to order that fender too..... so I can actually post the pics of my rig.
i am wanting to get a set for the front of my cruiser in the fall this year (ill be in aussie till august). I got some used springs for the front and theyre almost a negative arch. Id really like to here some firsthand feedback about how these springs perform though!
any news? would love to know of any developments this year?
Sorry for the delay in response, work and the inability to tear my rig apart right now.
Last I spoke with Steve he said due to the problem with the length the ones they have in stock they would sell me at discount. They are waiting for the correct ones to come in. Steve also said if he was to put them on his rig he would use the less expensive ones, the ride is much better (BUT he won't even think about it till the lengths are right and he can test both styles).
I am waiting for my motorcycle to get out of the shop (had it tuned up but the shop messed something up and has had it since...) before I can start working on my cruiser again. I plan to order all four of the expensive springs on mine, but I plan on towing as well. I'll also be ordering that front passenger fender that has been eluding me ;(

Well here I am kicking up an old thread and wondering WTF?! The question that remains here is if parabolics are worth it or not. If they are worth it then why is Man-A-Fre selling all of their parabolics at a discounted price? If anyone has any long term pictures of the parabolics holding up to the abuse of a FJ60/62 please post them on here. Any update would be quite beneficial.
