Replacement Springs

ABEasy

Hi all, hope yea can help. I'm looking for replacement springs for my tanabe coilovers. Tanabe have discontinued the sizes I need (only told me 2 weeks after taking my order and money!!!). So I need recommendations on the best springs to get and where to get them. They are 60mm diameter, 150mm length and 6kg load weight, they are going on Tanabe Sustec Pro S-OC coilovers.

Thanks

D2 make springs that will fit your coilovers, are you racing or is it a road car?

Thanks Gary, the DC Springs website doesn't fill me with confidence, they don't have their spring spec's, etc on the site like some of the other manufactors do.

Been doing loads of googling and have Swift springs on the short list (very short short list) http://www.swiftsprings.net/products-coilover_springs.html . Anyone have any experience with these??

The springs are for a road car, really liked the setup before the last set broke so want to replace like with like!

Ok we're getting somewhere

As it's a road car you're not going to notice a difference in the springs once you get one of a similar spec

The D2 springs aren't bad at all, the main part of your setup is actually the damper itself, the Tanabe Sustecs are a good coilover

The D2 springs are quite cheap too

what's the car?

Haha, google can be a pain in the ass sometimes, assumed you ment this crowd http://dcspringsireland.com/.

D2 look like an option alright, no prices on their site any idea what their price range is? Also can't seem to find the sizing they do. Looking for 60mm I.D. which isn't as popular as the 65/70/75mm.

The car is a celica 190, have a broken spring so car is parked up atm, sick of driving the missus's car so looking to order the parts as soon as.

The d2 springs are about €40 a pop
