bigo1966 Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 What springs should i use to replace the Wagon springs in front of the buggy? Hatch springs? Bratt springs? Any thoughts. It dosent have much front flex......if any at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooinater Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 they are all pretty much the same strut... i've had them from various apps. and never noticed a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rooinater Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 mod in some coilovers and really beef up the front to a long travel!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phizinza Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 My brat ran rear EA82 springs up front and would bottom and top out the shockers. Only got 4 inches of travel and my shocks were Monroe aftermarket with a little more travel then my brothers standard struts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigo1966 Posted April 2, 2008 Author Share Posted April 2, 2008 Wait....did you just say rear springs up front? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phizinza Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Yes, I used the EA82 rear springs up front, it sat a little higher and a little stiffer then standard. I just drilled out the top hats to fit the front shockers shaft. Plan was to get more room so I could move the strut inwards for camber adjustent. But the swivel at the top was still the standard one and wouldn't move more then about 3mm with the 2" lift I had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigo1966 Posted April 7, 2008 Author Share Posted April 7, 2008 My "that would be a bad idea thought"..... What if i took an angle grinder and "shaved" off some metal all around the outside of the coil spring. Possibly softer spring? Or could that potentally cause the spring to lose its springeyness?
