moglix Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 Morning, Looking for recommendations for someone local (CHCH), be it a sole operator or a business to do some suspension work for me. Looking at lowering a car, put blocks in rear and either cut or install new springs up front.. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Carsnz123 Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 What sort of car is it? I work for a company called Classic Workshop in Ferry Road. We can quite easily carry out the work and source the parts. It will be done correctly and to a high standard but probably wont be cheep.

vivaspeed Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Do Chamberlain still have a workshop? They make springs and used to do suspension work so can probably sort you out. I’ve had them make me custom springs for Vivas and Toyota stuff over the years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CUL8R Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Go see Chris @ Chamberlains Suspension. He can either match the coils of what you have or custom build new coils, reset factory ones ( I believe their Coiling machine is out of action at the moment however ) . They can also make blocks, and install it all for you too. If its a old enough car I wouldn't recommend resetting your factory coil springs, as they've most likely sagged over the years and will re-settle unevenly 9/10... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This plus one To give you an example of old and saggy springs, I got some Cobra 50mm raised rear coils for my D21 Terrano as it tows alot. Well it must have towed alot previous to me as the 50mm raise actually raised it 85mm (the 35mm sag then 50mm lift). Had to re-index the front torsion bars and raise that up a bit just to get rid of the massive rake . Cobra's are made by chamberlains and i highly recommend them off my own experience. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
