Wanted - Suspension Springs

[matt1]

Hi,

Have a standard 86 Honda City Pro T. Have put mags on but after a bump doing 100 the wheel knocked the guard out.. I do plan to flare the wheel guards for the wheels but would also like new suspension springs in the car.

Looking for some front suspension springs, preferably something heavy duty to give the car firm suspension and stop the wheels from moving up too much?

Gone to the usual suspension places but no one seems to stock anything. Anyone know a parts supplier that may have these?

theres a search engine on this site man, most questions you would ever ask have been covered.

There aren't any aftermarket springs available for city's. you can get custom springs made but they will cost a tad more than buying ready made ones off the shelf. the cheapest way to lower your city is to cut 1 coil off the springs, but this wont do you any justice for your cause

To firm up your suspension you could
-go about fitting some quality nolothane bushes.
-Recondition your shocks or find some that are in better condition.

or buy smaller wheels.........

What size wheels are we talking?

[matt1]

14 inch wheels.

Do not want to lower the car at all. Will be getting new bushes but would like to replace the springs at the same time.

This sounds l ike a combination of a few problems:

Mags are the wrong offset, they sit too fat outboard if the tyres hit the guards anywhere in their travel.

Shocks are poked, not a whole lot you can do about it, maybe look at someone reconditioning them.

Bushings wont make much different to how far your wheel moves up or where it moves to unless they are so worn there isnt much of them left.

Springs, your springs will be tired, if you want to go firmer but not lower you can cut some springs out of another honda to the right length and use those, the rear springs fomr an EG civic come to mind, there are a whole bunch of other hondas that use the same diameter springs. Other than that you can get custom springs made by either dobinsons or kings in aussie, remember pretty much any firmer springs you get will raise the car because they wont sag as much from the static weight (progressive are an exclusion).
