S40 / V50 spring options for Sport chassis

Turbodave · Mar 19th, 2022, 13:17

Morning,

I have an 07 V50 Sport with the 2.0D engine and have just fitted a pair of aftermarket front springs however with it now sat like a Toyota Hilux I did some retrospective research and it transpires that when the supplier said "yes, these are for cars with the sport chassis" they were talking nonsense as there's only one part number listed and it specifically states "Not for sports chassis"

So, unfortunately they'll be coming back off and I'll need to source some front elsewhere that are chassis / axle weight specific but has anybody done similar recently and can advise any specific brands? I'm not that interested in a lowering kit / four springs, just a supplier who can do chassis specific springs that'll maintain the correct ride height.

As it stands (literally) it's about 1.5" higher than it should be and I can't cope with that. If push comes to shove I'll put a complete spring kit on it but just exploring other options, perhaps from the likes of Kilen or Lesjofors etc?

Cheers

If you use the online catalogue to find the correct springs and put the part number in...... https://aftermarket.zf.com/go/en/sachs/catalogs/#/
