Suspension

I notice that Spax do a full kit for the 130/136...presumably the semi-trailing arm cars. What is the difference to the springs and shocks on the other Estelles??

Bottom fittings on the rear dampers! So maybe straight rather than taper-ended rear coils.

As for the front end, John Haugland would recommend the uprated dampers, but stock springs. The front is pretty light, and just bounces all over the shop on heavy duty springs.

Thanks....Ive seen some mention of the 130/136 cars having different spec rear springs...is that correct?

130/135/136 rear springs and shocks are about 25mm longer when standard.

SPAX no longer do them for the rear engined skodas.

From back in the day, Volvo 140 fronts, and Saab 900 Combi rears.
