ZTT spring options

ProfDave · 31st May 2015, 15:53

OK

I am thinking of replacing the front springs on the Typhoon before one goes pop as they have had some rust on them

Looking about and thinking of brown brown ones as these are the stiffest>?

Anyone got these or other advice??

thanks

Ok after the deafening silence I shall be ordering a set of OE brown browns tomorrow and perhaps they will rattle my teeth out but I will be cornering like a demon?!

I'd stick with OEM wherever possible.

Had a bad experience with fitting aftermarket springs when I had my 75. They were listed for the car, but were completely the wrong ride height and spring rating.

those are the ones I am aiming at

OEM brown brown

I fitted the motorbuild springs to mine at the start of this year. Both my rear springs were cracked and the front ones were pretty rusty, probably were still the originals. I didn't trust going for ebay ones as I weren't sure if they were cheap compatible ones.

In the end I went for the motorbuild ones all round, worked out to be a cheaper option too for me. Been very happy with them since

could be an option if you wish to change the rear ones too if they haven't already been done

I've also just bought a set of Moto-Build springs for my ZT Diesel as I'll be changing my shocks due to them being past there best and I've decided to go for Brown/Brown to fit with them as well.
