I've noticed my suspension on one side at the rear had dropped again.
it was adjusted a few months ago because it appeared to drop slightly by about 10mm.
had a look today and the same thing has happened by about 10mm again

Your not trying to trick us and just filled the tank up with petrol? ha!
Unless the collars are both winding down together i cant see another way of this happening(dropping the spring rather than the height adjuster)
It is parked on even ground isn't it!?
no its not parked on uneven ground, I've spoken to Driftworks and they reckon the spring is sagging, but typically they dont do spares for them :S
and Alex i did have to check fuel level lol
DW's are like soooooo helpful (insert sarcastic roll eyes smiley here).Originally Posted by Hugh Janus
Are they hsd's?
Yeah little frustrated to say the least..
Yeah they are, TT range
How old are they?
It's like when I asked them a question the other day and they just emailed back saying we only sell what's on the website and gave me a link to their website. Well f!cking thanks a bunch!Yeah little frustrated to say the least..
Maybe talk to Bren @ Apex. I know a little while ago he had a whole heap of different springs for sale. If you can get the right length and spring rate it doesn't have to be a DW spring.
couple of years, the TT range was discontinued about 6 months after i bought mine
Just to set the record straight:
We don't hold spare dampers for a discontinued kit that is around 3 years old, I did say however I can supply you with spare springs if that was the issue.
The measurements were taken over a period of around 5 months and by someone else if I remember the conversation correctly? Lots of things can change of that period of time, tyres, pressures, weight, level ground, loose coilover components etc...
My initial comment with regard to the spring settling was when I thought it was a kit you'd just fitted, springs will always settle slightly, but wont sag consistantly over months.
I asked for the spring free length measurement, to make sure everything was tight and to monitor it yourself. Basically trying to help you with an obscure problem witha 3yr old kit - apologies that wasn't enough.
Can you PM me your email address so I can look into that please
umm at no point did you say you carried spares, which is why I said to you it wasn't worth removing the spring to measure if you COULDN'T supply parts because it wouldn't achieve anythingJust to set the record straight:

outlined in email too
Try removing a wheel and measuring from between 2 fixed points on both rear struts, (top and bottom spring seats for example), so eliminate the possibility that they've wound themselves down. My CS2's did that when I first fitted them, there's a possibility that the paint chipped between the locking rings, which then meant they weren't tight, I nipped them back up and they've been fine since.
After that you may need to jack the back up, remove wheels, put blocks under the rear arms, let the jack down and measure again, that'll give you some idea if the springs have gone weak, (without getting them properly tested).

I wouldn't really class the spring as a spare part for a coilover as they are changed out often for difference poundages.
Sounds like things have just been interpreted badly.
point taken, however it was with reference to the springs themselves
so yeah probably some miscommunication
i will try this, however they had been adjusted a few months ago and over the weekend just gone i could see the newly exposed area of thread so it appears the collars haven't unwound themselves
That was an email with Steve prior to the phone conversation with myself. I confirmed his email (that we don't carry spares for that kit), but could supply springs.
You presumed we couldn't supply springs (could come under "spares", I understand that) so didn't want to remove them, I then said we could.
ok so..can you give me a price for supplying a new either single or pair of springs please?
A pair of springs are £50 + £6.50 P&P.
I really doubt it's that though, so make sure everything is tight and that your measuring surface, fuel level etc is the same
