replacement springs ...

[Bal]

k im off to the states on friday and the only thing im gonna get for the car is some lowering springs (figure if they £100 here ill probably get them for £50 over there).

but when i look most companies state these are for the v6 model or the vr4.

as i have a gls iv seen some for the 4 cylinder 97 onwards (which im guessing is me) but wouldnt the v6 ones fit my car??

just need a little advice so i dont buy the wrong thing whilst there.

Bal......quite a hard question to answer /Hmmm
my mate bought lower spring's (Pi) for his 2ltr estate and on the box it had both 2ltr & V6 within the fitting list? (same list code)
but the USA version Galant might be a heavier car due to thier larger bumper's that cover larger protective metal bar's to our's in the UK......on a spur of the moment answer i'd say....buy UK one's in the UK that are stated for a 2ltr saloon /Hmmm

shoot good point. ill see what they say.

The front strut on the US galants is different in design. I doubt that the springs will fit correctly.

I take no offence at the G word Paul! I am proud of my Heritage! :smug:

I was looking at air-suspension at one stage, as I found somewhere to get a kit pretty cheaply - This was before I got H&Rs and Bilsteins for my V6 Sport, you see. Problem was that the front bags wouldn't have seated properly, as the strut height and spring mounts are different. So that was that!

the problem you have with air suspension is the possibility of leakage and sagging (as the airbags will stretch..

bit of an issue on range rovers :S

I haven't given up with this - Mainly because air suspension gives a ride quality like no other.... Well, if that UZZ31 Toyota Soarer 4.0GT-L I tried was a good yardstick..... Oh, now there's a super luxo-barge hubba-hubba mobile!!

Yep seems the right ones to me m8... Watch how those wheels suddenly look larger than 17s once those springs go on! Shud be good! :thumbsup:

Not sure about about NFS discount maybe try it on and see if they do..

Have you checked motorsport world too?

P,

no i havent, i'll try them now and then we'll see.

muhahah the biatch has been waiting to be lowered and now she is

[Bal]

exciting times in the birdy camp.
