Which Springs?? was created by Gary Whenmouth
Just trying to decide on which 3' lift springs to buy keeping costs to a minimum and quality high!. I dont need shocks as my jimny is already lifted. I only want new springs.

Jimny bits have these at £196.79 inc Vat
www.jimnybits.co.uk/shop/index.php?_a=viewProd&productId=11

Martin £285

KAP £288 inc VAT (I pass them fairly often so wont have posted)

Any suggestions?

Defo interested, I am well pleased with the shock brackets you have sent me, the quality is top!. I realy need +3 springs as i have 235/75/15 special tracs.
I hope to deal with you Martin, the jimnybits just seem alot cheaper.

I would go with Trail Master ones if Martin can supply them in 3" at a reasonable price as although I'm sure the Jimnybits ones are good quality - I would imagine that the Trail Master ones are really good quality.

I've got KAP springs and find them fine.

There are many people out there who have the Jimnybits springs and really rate them - so it might be much of a muchness.

I wonder if you called Rob at Off Road Armory whether he's sell you just the springs out of his 3" lift kit and discuss a price with you?

He seems like a reasonable guy and although it might not be something he will male a habit of, you don;t know unless you ask.

I have the 3" jimnybits ones and to be fair they arnt bad at all, depends on how stiff a ride you can go with too, mines fine on es100 pro comps though other shocks are stiffer!

Think if i just had to buy springs though id go for Martins. I was buying a kit at the time so money wouldnt stretch to the Trailmaster setup or i would have gone for them.

You can also try mad+6cm springs and a teflon spacers of 2cm over its one.

In Greece this is the most common combination for that hight.

Also another one good choise are the suplex springs for 3''.

ORA doesn't sell coils seperate from his kits.I have asked robert in the past.
