Where to buy parabolic springs ?

Morning gents,

As a bit of a newbie here, i've tried searching but not really found the answer i'm looking for my series III swb.

I'm just wondering where you'd suggest getting a parabolic spring kit from (front & rear). I'd like the cp kit, but unfortunately i think that they are a bit out of my price range, and would be wasted for what i want - just a toy vehicle

The rears seem to be about 160 and the front about 140ish.... Is this the normal sort of price ?

Or what about the ones on the bottom of this page : LANDROVER SPECIALIST SIMMONITES SPRINGS

What about shocks where would you suggest ?

Cheers

Gordon

craddocks do the fronts for 99 quid. not sure of the rear prices.

ebay item number 320075642745. (craddocks).

(there is also a set of rears, new, for 40 quid on ebay. do a search).

thanks for the reply about craddocks

nope. try this one.

140084591767

oh well worth a try

i just got parabolics front and rear with procomp es3000 +2" shocks all the bolts and shackles and polybushes from paddocks for around 350 but the springs alone were quite cheap give paddocks a try

ere pricey, do you still need some series bits

Just bought a set off seller on EBAY, had 100 sets of Britpart front & rear SWB £150 + p&p £16

Sounds cheep enouth, you fitted them yet?

thanks for the replies. been wondering, they make a heavy duty for the swb (4 leaf instead of 3 from what i can see). would these be ok on a truck, i'm basically after more lift. the only thing in the back is the cage.

paddock's dont' seem too bad on pricing.

Maybe a daft question...

But what is the difference between 'normal' springs and parabolics....

a normal spring bounces when yu hit it - a parabolics fookin hurts

its the shape lad! the shape

Why would you want to hit a spring?

to let the water out - of course

Of course

?britpart are the the better quality ones in my opinion there about same price as craddocks £95/100 per pair

cheers for the replies. i placed an order at paddocks this morning
