    Just a side note - my father installed some of the Rocky Mountain parabolics on his SIII Stage I (4BD1) and was not impressed with them - took 'em off and returned them.

    He got the from their distributor in Brisbane.

    My old man fitted Paras to his SIIA, he is very happy with them - its made it a new vehicle to drive. I think they came from one of their distributors near Newcastle NSW.

    He was also very happy with their service .

    He likes them so much that we will be changing them over to his new S3 (P76 V8- after market fitment).

    Hi,
    I found a new site for you:- www.parabolicsuspension.com or ring 4WD Megastores at 02 9622 1000.
    I'm very satisfied with my springs. Raised my S11 50mm And softened ride considerably. A coiler it is definately not but still a great improvement.
    Slightly more body roll but a lot better cross-axle performance. As Mick said, they will be following on to my new aquisition, a 77 S3 with 4.4 Leyland P76 on board. Easy on the throttle from now on.
    Regards
    Terry

    If they are a good dealer you will be told about your options regarding rear springs for your vehicle AND THE LOADS YOU WOULD NORMALLY CARRY. I have 3 leaf TIC Parabolics with Explorer Procomp ES 9000 shockers which are made in the U.S. and that seems to suit my style of 4WD work with my loads, camping gear and the like. I also collect firewood for personal use and have come in at times wityh a full load of dry hardwood in the rear of the 109.
    Ask and you should be offered at least 2 options.
    Regards
    Terry

    parabolics...

    Hi Terry,
    Thanks for info.
    Do you have 3 leaf or 2 leaf + helper ?
    Do you consider them (TIC's) to be really heavy duty and reliable ?
    I had some emails with both TIC and RM (BTW-it was quite interesting what they said about each other...).
    British springs produce perabs too and they gave me price 225 british pounds for full set +155 for shipping (4 leaf rear) to Sydney.
    I will call 4WD Megastore and ask them too, thanks.

    Hi,
    4DB1 is very heavy engine, maybe too heavy for those 2 leaf front paras ?
