shanksportif Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 Hi Guys,My sportif just failed it's MOT on account of 2 snapped springs at the front! I had no idea!Basically it's got SR TTE springs on it - so the easiest option would be to get 2 new ones from Toyota... but they've been discontinued.Don't really want to put the original springs on so it looks like a tractor, so was wondering if anyone knows where i could get my hands on either some SR springs, or any other relatively cheap lowering springs that would lower it by around the same height (25-30mm).All help greatly appreciated!Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wantaglanz Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 might be easier to just find a set of lowering springs dude, post up in wanted section Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Asad Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 common fault with the tte springs, any other set you get will be same only a matter of time before they break....invest in some new springs like tein Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shanksportif Posted January 15, 2011 Author Share Posted January 15, 2011 could anyone point my in the direction of some cheap ones that don't lower it too much? haven't really got much time to look around! cheers! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Turkish91 Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 PI springs are the cheapest I could find. Think I paid £102 delivered for a set of 40mm lowering springs but tbh they didnt sit a massive amount lower than TTE springs! Will try and find a pic bear with me EDITBefore on TTE springs...After on PI springs...In my view, the perfect ride height for an N/A when theyre on PI springs!

Amjad Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 I have PIs and they settle in very nicely, easily the lowest springs I've seen Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shanksportif Posted January 15, 2011 Author Share Posted January 15, 2011 anyone know anything about apex ones? they seem to be the cheapest.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rmsnoel Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 APEX, no!! If there yellow there too damn soft. You can compress them by hand. BUMPSTOP BANDITS Quote Link to post Share on other sites
