Suspension advice please

I've got RS*R lowering springs on which I want to swap for stock ones.

 

Does anyone know if I can use NA springs on my VVTi JSpec TT please? I have a set available to me but am not sure if they're OK to fit.

 

 

(And if not, does anyone in the South have a TT set that they don't want anymore?)

 

Cheers all. :)

Hi Mate

 

Surely the NA springs wouldnt be sufficient to deal with TT power/handling?? How come your 'downgrading' or is it due to cost you want NA's? May be a safety issue involved there, though I'm no expert ;) Go for Bilstein's off a TT as a minimum I'd have thought? :search:

Thanks all.

 

The reason I'm "downgrading" is that the RS*Rs are just too low for my car now I've got an aftermarket (Miami-GT) exhaust. The clearance under the 2nd cat is down to about 2.5" and I seem to be scraping it on just about every car park entrance these days. :(

The ride is also "rather stiff" for my back these days too. ;)

 

And as I'm living on my Army pension at the moment, cost is a BIG issue (although I should hopefully recoup something if I sell the RS*Rs). :)

Have you thought about getting coilovers? You can ajdust the ride height for comfort and clearance. They're not cheap but are a good investment, maybe worth bearing in mind if you become very solvent i.e; win the lottery ;)

I have stock, used, VVTi springs for sale, the N/A ones will be too soft, especially the fronts. VVti springs are a different rate to none VVTi, a bit stiffer. They work really well on standard European Bilstein shocks, and I can do a superb price on those, at the moment :)
Chris, how much for the springs, including postage please?
