Hi Paul

I fitted a pair of these as my new road springs that I fitted created vibration.Ifitted the assistersto my original springs and she sits just as I want and no vibration.

This was the same make as the ones I fitted and you can get them off ebay. You just need to measure the spring coil gap to know which ones to buy. When you fit them use washing up liquid as the rubber grips the powder coating on the coils and makes life difficult.

Good luck

Hi Paul

Which one? when you go to the web site there is a choice of rubber inserts or springs!!

I have used the rubber inserts not for towing, but all the extra weight I carry (I mean in the car) before I get any rude comments and the camber was way out but after fitting these it was back to normal!! whatever that may be.

Hi Andrew and Roger, thanks for feedback, I was intending just for towing as I also put bikes on the towbar, and the rubber inserts looked good idea. Powder coating? I have rust coating!

Hi Paul

I have the springs fitted to my shocks which the PO fitted, I find they make the back end very stiff, ideal for towing not so good for normal driving as they upset the balance of the car.

Hi Stu, I assume they're extra to the normal springs - and who dare I ask are the PO?I'm sure the Stag and I would welcome the stiffness in our old age () but need something thats relatively easy to remove once on site.

Cheers
