I've just had delivered a set of Polyair springs for the rear.
I realise that I could have bought cheaper from O/S but I like the idea of local support, even if it cost a little more.
Does any one have photos of their polyair's in situ?
I found a couple in another thread but I need to see the top of the springs in place if possible.
Any photos would be appreciated.
Cheers.
I fitted set of poly air about 12 months ago and they have been great. I agree with you, spend locally if possible.
Can’t send a photo, as the D'Fer is at the stealers again for water leaks.
It is very simple fit up.
1/ Remove shocks/springs - lower axel.
2/ Clamp the reinforcing plates into place (rounded edge facing out), then drill out the top spring mounts to suit the hole pattern. Fit and bolt plates into position.
3/ The spacing blocks down with the larger side facing up, leaving the smaller side of the block to sit inside the spring.
4/ For the bottom of the bag, where the bag rests against the bolt that retain the spring, I used some thinks rubber matting cut into shape, to protect it from the sharp edges of the bolt heads.
5/ Follow the instruction for fitting of the air lines, use lots of cable ties to hold the air line up and of the way and be sure to leave a fair amount of air line to cater for suspensions articulation.
See attahced pics.
I flicked the poxy supplied top plates and played with the 130 inner spring upper mount to secure the top rubber block. If you have a 110 this wont really be an option. IMO the supplied plate is a pretty cheap and nasty solution but I guess it works?
The lower rubber block is part of the +2" kit which I would recommend even if you are running standard height coils. Bag fills out the coil better and block protects the bag.

Thanks guys.
I have a 110 so I will be using the supplied plates.
I will however try to find some rubber for under the bag as suggested.
Hopefully I will have them fitted in the next day or so but it is bloody cold and wet and windy outside and my carport is not weather proof! I might have to do it at work tomorrow afternoon
The instructions say rubber protector at top smaller end up...Drover you put it in the other way...?
I can't see it making any difference but the rubbers seem to have a larger hole in the middle of the fatter end which I guess accommodates the air fitting with space to spare.
I will do it fat side down.
I got some 3cm thick rubber this afternoon that I have to cut to fit inside the springs for the bottom. It has standard height suspension so hopefully it will be ok.
