NewGuy Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 Was, thinking of getting the rear lowered a bit in my triumph as there is alot of body roll and travel in the rear suspension plus it doesn't look kewl to me. I would like to just put some lowering springs in the rear. If i go to tyremaster etc, what should i expect to pay for springs and labour? Approx?

NewGuy Posted November 12, 2006 Author Share Posted November 12, 2006 Thats not to bad i spose, thats just for the rear aye? LIek 2inchs? or are the springs a pretty standard price? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 King springs are usually $400 installed i think so I just halfed it and added a tad. Might be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewGuy Posted November 13, 2006 Author Share Posted November 13, 2006 Went to tyremaster he made a few calls for me while i was there, he rembered me from like 5 months ago when i went in there to get some springs fitted to my shocks. Carn't get springs for my car, i have a rear pair of 1 inch lowering springs, but they are my old mans. What should i be paying to get custom springs done? Anyone know anyone in Tauranga?

Bullitt Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 AFAIK Chamberlins in christchurch is about the only place in New Zealand is about the only place that does custom springs, probably looking $400ish plus installation so pretty much the same as off the shelf kings anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any idea what they are going to charge you per spring? are you useing other springs as a current template if not how are you going to figure out the spring rate etc?

I had the Original Springs, and 1inch lowering ones, and they are just going to make them a inch lower than those ones. Same Spring type, amount of coils etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
