Can anyone help me here ? ... Are these the stock springs that come with a 95 FTO GPX ? ... They dont look like it ...

Or if their not , can someone explain why they are a strange design ? like coiled up down one end but not the other ?...

Cheers

p.s .. yes their both the same size , its just the angle..

No

No they are definitely not stock springs. Usually a graduated change in the coil would mean different compression at different levels of force, but I dont know what it means when that is in the middle.

Oh, and if you have dramas with those and cant make the rattles stop, I have a full set of stock springs I can get to you. Otherwise, you can pick up a set of King Springs for just over the $200 mark.

Thanks for the tip :)

Yea i just had them removed and put in a set of king springs ... The mechanic couldnt tell me what they were for either , he thought maybe some sort of racing or drifting and they compress up pretty hard ...

Eh ill just put em up for sale see if anyone wants em..

Yeah I don't even think that the stock FTO has got that many coils which is why it's kinda hard to lower the FTO without buying lowered springs. :evil:

Yea im heaps happier now ...

I got my Kings for $180 , they made my car look even lower at the back (must of been shorter) , given me a much smoother ride , and got rid of that bloody knocking noise i used to hear going over any slightest bump you can imagine ... Feels like a new car now :)
