Parabolic Springs for Series - what do you recommend - Land Rovers Only

Jayce · 01-27-2005, 04:17 AM

Hi all

I am in the process of researching parabolic springs and have come across a fairly large number of manufacturers.

Do you know if anyone had done a review on the specific makes, or which are the best.

help is always appreciated.

Cheers

Jayce,
Glad you're thinking about new springs.
I've heard nothing but good things about Rocky Mountain parabolics, but I'll bet shipping to you might be prohibitive. TIConsole are also supposed to be good.
I'm also thinking about parabolics, but I don't think I could get into my garage with the extra 1.5" of lift...it's that close already...

Curently have British Springs parabolics on the Lightweight, before that i had TIC's on the 109". Both equally as good as each other and far better than standard springs. Time will tell if i made a mistake in going for the cheaper option of the BS 'bolics this time, but so far they've proved themselves equal to the TIC ones.

Tell me what are Chris Perfect Components springs like?

Any idea?

AFAIK Chris Perfect "used" to deal with T.I. Console springs of Holland. I'm not quite sure now whether he is selling Rockey mountain or British springs instead. I bought my T.I.Console springs from him for the 109" many moons ago - can recommend him as a service as i had no problems with hm at all. As for the British springs they were a present so am unsure of where they came from.
