=jon= Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Hi All Doing some work on the 110 today and have spotted that both front springs are broken... Current setup is De Carbon shocks all round - front part number v45 3883 23 which I believe is +2 compared to standard length, so would need +2 springs to suit. Existing springs appear to be aftermarket, no markings other than being very orange and now in multiple pieces! Majority of usage is on road with the occasional green lane. It's a 110 CSW v8 so has a little less weight on the nose than most. Any suggestions on springs and poundage? Thanks! Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keeley75 Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 (edited) I’m biased but Old Man Emu. Here’s a chart that might help if you go to another manufacturer. The issue is the v8 is much lighter than say the tdi engine. Lots of resellers will just do a 2 inch lift which on the v8 might be a bit high. OME sell V8 specific so it will be right. You get what you pay for and they don’t break like other manufacturers. There are quite a few sets of Genuine delivery mileage springs on eBay that may suit. There is a colour chart somewhere on this forum. Enjoy Edited July 12, 2020 by keeley75 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Drumstick Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Flatdog springs are good. They also offer quite a good choice. Although not looked for a 110. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
=jon= Posted July 12, 2020 Author Share Posted July 12, 2020 Thanks both - will have to get researching! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Drumstick Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 https://www.flatdoguk.com/search.asp?types=FD+SPRINGS They have the spring rates if you click on the item. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
=jon= Posted July 13, 2020 Author Share Posted July 13, 2020 Looks like the spring rates are: Flatdog +2 : 220lbf/in OME +2 : 200lbf/in The FD ones are rated as medium/heavy duty, the OME are rated for up to 50kg extra weight and have v8 specific ones (but typically are a few quid more expensive!). Have just ordered the OME ones - will see how I get one with them... Thanks again! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
