mikuni Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Keeper springs would probably be about 20 bucks and solve the issue now rather than saving up for expensive adjustable ones for no real reason if the cars not getting track use, imo. But each to their own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But each to their own. Had a browse on TM, and seems you are correct. What type would be best? One that just sits on top of the other spring or one that has a spacer/nut inbetween the two sets of springs? EDIT: I do use some back country roads for some very hard driving. Would keeper springs come into effect here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DB8-TypeR Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 EDIT: I do use some back country roads for some very hard driving. Would keeper springs come into effect here? Keeper springs have no effect once the weight of the car is on the suspension. All keeper springs do is KEEP the springs captive when you jack it up. My Tein Type RA coilovers have them, so its safe to say they work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keeper springs have no effect once the weight of the car is on the suspension. All keeper springs do is KEEP the springs captive when you jack it up. My Tein Type RA coilovers have them, so its safe to say they work or otherwise completely unload the suspension i.e. corner hard on a cambered corner where the inside wheel dips down/hard enough lean to pull a wheel or get some airtime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
