Therefore if you use the nimbus rear end (shock and springs) that should lower it quite nicely then?? as i very often wonder why some other rvrs are so much lower yet old ladies and wat not driving them lol

[Matt_]

Having phoned Pedders today regarding the Part numbers supplied by Lozzle...

Spring Rates are unknown though the gent is going to ring and find out for me and get back to me. Useful information for someone like me who wants to know how hard it is.
Secondly, our springs are out of that many cars it's not funny... If anyone wants a list I can get it, but they think the RVR is the same as a Nimbus.... so anyone who has ordered Pedders spring before, please give me your part numbers so I can actually check and see what spring they supplied and from there gauge height.

[Dan /// Astron Boy]

Meanwhile, I have found someone who can have there factory springs completely assesed and is a bit closer to having these springs recreated.
Should be able to then get a few different height and force variants by any requirement.
Still a little way off, but it will become a reality, hopefully before the year is out.

I'm still skeptical about the whole Nimbus factor given they are a slightly lower car and unsure of the rear suspension setup, might check ASA tonight.

[Matt_]

yeah check ASA tonight and let me know how you go.
I'm going to be waiting for info back. But I'll be making some calls and getting a hold of part numbers of people who have RVR's and have got lowered springs and trying to source more info on that.

Lowered isn't such a great problem.
I think ultimately the information for factory units are needed so we have a yard stick.
With this info we can do whatever we want.
I personally don't want lower, so for me buying Nimbus springs wouldn't suffice...

Will inform tonight.

[Matt_]

Yep, Agreed.

I've seen RVR's with new springs that sit around 20mm higher than stock... which is more in your ball park I think.
So I don't doubt there is an option around for us somewhere.

So, to clarify, the below Pedders part numbers for springs are correct? And they will allow my car to drop about an inch? Sorry, I'm a bit of a spring and strut numpty (coilies are so much easier!)

Pedders springs
front:
2324
back:
2082

[Matt_]

They are correct in that the car will be lower. They're Nimbus springs.

They dont know what an N23W RVR is... they know what the N11W / N13W RVR is (Nimbus AFAIK)

I'll keep on this and let everyone know what options we have for stock springs etc.

[Dan /// Astron Boy]

I am well aware this is a link to eBay.
I post this merely for the fact of the seller confirming something!

Seems as the numbers from pedders are correct, they do work with the rear suspension also.

Another thing noting, they are 1" low, good for the hsg boys.

I'm still working on getting the oems measured so the very few who want lift can get it, and also so we have a point of reference if we want to beef it up.

[QIK-247]

does anyone want those springs? ^ cos if not i'll grab them, save paying local dickheads for the same parts

[Matt_]

Just get em Konix

[QIK-247]

ok

[Dan /// Astron Boy]

lol
you can tell us how they feel!

Cobrasprings make some standard replacements 30% heavier than stock.

stiffer?
and, link?

[to4garret]

Yes, firmer.

Have you googled cobrasprings yet or do you still want me to post the link?

I have actually got them to custom make some taller springs for me, 30mm above factory.

[Dan /// Astron Boy]

I have googled them, but only found 2 companies, one in NZ the other Netherlands...
Atleast that do suspension...

[to4garret]

Yea, they are in christchurch, nz.

They have the springs listed on the site and mentioned they also custom make, which a lot of places in Au do too but don't already have patterns for the rvr. Worked out fairly cheap too, $650nzd posted. Should have them in a week or two as the designs were completed last week.

[Dan /// Astron Boy]

Hmm, keep us informed then.
I just like the peace of mind buying something local when they're a 1 off part is all.

I found this KYB part number list. It may be useful.
