Estelle Rear Springs
I've just bought an Estelle 130 LSE to use a a trials car. At the moment it has some 'modified' rear springs in it. I am looking for a pair of standard ones, anyone know of any good UK suppliers???

Re: Estelle Rear Springs
Thanks for that Skud, suggest any suppliers? Oh and I may have to go for standard to stay within the Classic trials regs but I'm not certain yet. Just looked on the Spax website, looks like they only do lowered, which is useless for trialling, AVO website looks promising, they might have standard height items.

Re: Estelle Rear Springs
I've got some good secondhand standard springs if you're interested. By the way it's worth remembering on your search that the semi-trailing arm rear suspension as fitted to your 130 have longer springs and shocks than the earlier swing-axle type.

Re: Estelle Rear Springs
With Trials regs, are you allowed to run uprated springs and dampers? I know I'd not want to reduce the ride height cos that would just risk bottoming out in sections.

I'm interested daverapid, and I am over in Cambridge every 6weeks or so so could pick them up. Can't work out at the moment how to send you a private message, but once I do I'll be in touch.
