Plus 2 rear ride height / springs - again!

[KevinM]

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?

All the best

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

What is the ride height to top of wheel arches? from memory its normal for them to be 25-26" at rear and look high, then the front 1/2/" to inch lower.

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.

I will check and get back to you.
