steve b Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 A bit of background - I'm building a 109 series 3 TC 2.25 5mb petrol onto a galv. chassis ( Richards ) and I'm having some problems with new OE spec, spring quality , so was wondering how others have got on with various spring manufacturers ? The current new ones I have are way too stiff and are currently waiting the manufacturers response . I don't particularly want to go to parabolics as I would prefer it to look original . The truck is completely standard so no added weight or indeed removed weight . cheers Steve b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daan Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 GB springs seem to have good write ups. I have to say nothing else apart from parabolics would be on my list, especially as it is a reversable mod. Otherwise, removing leafs on your existing springs?

steve b Posted September 22, 2017 Author Share Posted September 22, 2017 Hi Daan Which parabolic supplier would you suggest ? cheers Steve b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon White Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Yep. Wouldn't fit anything except parabolics either. i have allmakes ones, do what they say on the tin. No complaints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornish Rattler Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 I've recently fitted GBE Parabolics to my rebuild got them from paddocks and have used the same para's on my previous trucks and as been said I wouldn't be without them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve b Posted September 23, 2017 Author Share Posted September 23, 2017 Thanks guys , I will look into it next week . I do have 2x early 2A's to resurrect next year and would really like to keep the spring style original on those , so any experiences of std. style spring would still be useful from anyone . My doubts about para's were based on some that I fitted to a 109 sw a while ago - probably 17 years ago thinking about it - that were like 2 bits of RSJ , can't remember the make , but they were painted green . cheers Steve b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
