Alternative rear springs for lighter syncros

Post by silverbullet »

Cut'n'paste from my "syncro rear spring wanted" post, that started to turn techy before it got moved :?

Following the Ren..lt train of thought... why not try standard duty ones from a Tragic? One less turn but lighter wire from the looks of them (ride might be closer to standard?) and still off a 1-ton van so up to the task...you can get new for not much more than some used off the 'bay...

Trafic/Vivaro/Primastar are the same thing.

Might be good for play trucks that aren't carrying much weight?
