hope you guys can help

bump

Your bumping a thread that's an hour old? - why?

There's been a few threads in the past on which springs fit rears on micras.

Hey mate if you want a harder ride why not buy my Excel G shocks? They retain stock ride height but greatly enhance handling.

hey littlebear i ordered a brand new set of them today actually so will see how they go i was woundering i know the toyota corolla sportivo rear springs fit the front of the micra but would it fit the rear also?

the problem with the rears is that there,s only about 30mm of preload in the stock spring/shock, so shorter stronger springs become insecure when the car is jacked up (i had to cut 100mm off my shocks and re-thread them, to keep the springs captive)
as for the fronts, daewoo matiz leg with a honda civic rear spring FTMFW :)

frank

what spring are you using in the rear frank ?

matiz rear mate (but bear in mind the car is 760kg tho eh)

frank

that matiz leg with the civic spring LM (in the pic)
the leg is shorter, and they have a soft compression damper and hard return damper (damper ratio of 2 or 3 : 1) so you can have hard springs but keep the DD ride :)

frank

they were thrown into the back of another civic (mid/late 90,s probs)
if you want rockhard, honda/rover fronts are made from 12mm gauge wire (10mm stock) left one in pic
LM, lowmicra :)

nor me lol :) (those legs were £20/pair)

hey frank would the spring on its own in the above fit in the rear if so what they out of make model yr

There's your answer Low

allright kool as cheers low

kyb excel g

I'm pretty sure he used stock ones Low and cut 100mm off them.
Check the above posts

you have to slot the top hub hole 5mm (angled slightly in the pic for camber)
and swap the topmounts over
my rear shocks are shortened (re-threaded) stock, so i can lift the inside rear lol

frank

okay kool thankx frank for your help

very slowly lol (they,re a pretty tough steel)



np :)

no, i cut the chrome shaft :)

Why not just get a machining shop to do it for you? Sounds much easier.
