Seen those guys mentioned quite a bit. If the problem hasnt been sorted then I may well give them a call. If they are that good then its worth the drive. Cheers.
**Edit** Had a reply from Eibach, it seems they are only available through CC with a part number of 000053477. I googled it with no luck though.
Make sure you check the block height compared to the stroke required from the different manufacturers of the springs. There is a significant difference and you certainly do not want to go coil bound.
For example on our Autograss customer cars we can run a 12" spring from Hyperco with lots to spare compared to another budget spring @ 16" open.
Thanks for the info Simon. I had to do a bit of googling to find out what those terms meant but understand now. So far after a ride out tonight there is no more noise.....so far. But I'm not counting my chickens.
Are there any measurements I could provide to the spring manufacturer other than overall diameter,open length, coil gauge and poundage rate?
Give me a call next week and I will explain everything.
last year we purchased a very expensive hydraulic spring testing dyno that has been enlightening.
all I would say is you may get close with some ready reckoning math - I used to try - but you would be very surprised at the variance between springs even when new. Then you have age related sag to contend with also.
I can happily recommend appropriate springs rates and or manufacturer.
there is to my knowledge only one manufacturer who provides a lifetime warranty against any fail or sag and their springs can live and not be over stressed even when set coil bound. They have won every Indy500 for the past 57 years!
Hyperco. It's the reason I use them.
Any way call us and I will help out in any way I can. All advice is FOC. No sale pitch.
Just talking aloud here but it may be an interesting task to test as many springs as possible FOC as a way of demonstrating the variability. Perhaps that's a winter project.
Call PGM and get some good info and potentially a fix... bit of a way to travel but...

Simon at Meteor Motorsport would be my first phone call. He'll be able to help.
He's a bit far from me (circa 4hours each way). But if he's recommended then I may give him a call. Cheers.

it's just worth an ask.
