    parabolics

    Back again Adam,
    I have 3 leaf (2+1helper) and I suppose this is slightly light to have on the rear of my 109 hardtop, but they seem to work OK. I have the normal 2 leaf springs on the front, and have a PTO winch hanging off the front as well, and this does not seem to trouble the ride height, or the ride quality.
    A good site to visit is www.ticonsole.nl as they are the manufacturers and have a great selection chart with all the info you could possibly need to set up properly. A good factory tour as well, and good explanation of how and why of para. springs. Generally just an informative site.
    Pedal to the metal and GO.
    Terry

    Hi,

    I imported a set of Britsh Springs Parabolics straight from the factory in the UK for my 109. About 200 pounds + freight + tax. I've since noted that British Parts in Welshpool, Perth have them in stock. (08) 9362 4199, britparts@bigpond.com . If you do decide to import to reduce cost, see if you can have it delivered to your home. If it lands at a port you have to pay customs tax, but if it's less than $1000 and is mailed direct to you you are tax exempt. Australia Post and Royal mail couldn't figure out how to mail me 4x20kg items!

    British Springs are spring manufacturers for Land Rover and they make train and truck springs, so their build quality is good. I got 4 leaf rears which are quite firm unloaded.

    I've heard of front parabolics not being able to handle the weight of an isuzu diesel though. That particular case was with Rocky Mountains, but I can't say whether that had to do with the spring design or the manufacture.

    If you need to know more detail you can email me at mskyg@optusnet.com.au

    Of course it is often the case that what something was worth is far different to what it cost! [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img] :wink: [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img] :wink:
