Plus 2 rear ride height / springs - again!
8 posts
• Page 1 of 1
Hi everyone,
The rear ride height on my plus 2 seems too high (it has Spyder rear springs - non adjustable) and I'm convinced the angle that the rear drive shafts sit at is a large factor in the early demise of my donuts.
Has anyone got recommendations for a set of springs that give a decent ride height / drive shaft angle?
Thanks,
Kevin

Hi
Are these the smaller Spyder 2 1/4" (I think it is) that you are talking about?

Zetec+ 2 under const, also 130S. And another 130S for complete restoration. Previously Racing green +2s with green tints. Yellow +2 and a couple of others, all missed. Great to be back 04/11/2021 although its all starting to get a bit out of control.

I believe 12” is the lower accepted. And 14” is the taller. Might be 12.7 and 14.3 ?

Born, and brought home from the hospital (no seat belt (wtf)) in a baby!
Find out where the limits are, and start from there

And is that loaded with 500lbs + driver or so?
Does one measure from centre of wheel/hub to wheel arch?

Hi Berni,
No normal sized springs I believe, a direct replacement for the ones they took off when renewing shock absorbers.
