Lowered springs

[Nsw]

I'm looking for some lowered, stiffer springs for an 89 festiva, i was hoping someone could help me out. I'm looking for a 1"-2" drop maybe.

Look for the advanced dynamic suspension thread in the suspension section. It's invaluable with the info it provides.

Yeah, about $500.00 and you won't believe the difference! I put 120 lb springs in front and 80 lb in the back. Still a pretty smooth ride, really low, and handles like you wouldn't believe!

Yeah, same in Australia. I paid over $1100 on mine 2 years ago.

Was that to get them here from Charlie or did you build em yourself?

All my parts arrived this week to build coilovers as per advanced suspension.

VW Mk3 coilovers off ebay (Australia)- $320
KYB VW Mk1 rear struts off ebay (Lithuania) - $140
Black magic springs (2 x #017-012, 2 x #020-015) from Southwest Speed - $348 (includes shipping cost $100 usd)
Kia Rio front strut mounts off amazon $90
Coilover sleeves to suit the MK1 struts purchased locally $138

Total $1036 delivered to Brisbane.


Otherwise, you could try springs from a Mazda 121 Metro, they bolt straight in and will be stiffer but you will probably need to cut them for lower ride height.
You should be able to find a complete Metro for around $400, with that you can upgrade your motor, gearbox, brakes, steering, suspension, seats etc etc

I have some lowered springs I had taken off a Festiva I purchased. I don't know anything about them. All I know is it made the Festy too low for me to flat tow it home.
When I get home tomorrow I will take a picture of them and post it here.
