Pts Bilstein Spring Identification

[Spiky 37]

hi,

 

bought a set of PTS bilsteins front bodies, and they came with some springs but i cant see a poundage on them

 

the are black and have yellow and red dot's on them

 

does that mean anything? as in what rate they are?

[philfingers 5]

yellow is tar and only found in 9" i believe. 225lbs I think. Gravel I think are blue and 185lbs, 9 or 10" oh and genuine PTS are 70mm ID, others are often 65mm ID

Where is the best place for springs? I want 300lbs, skip brown dont have any stock

[welshpug 1,645]

Merlin stock most popular sizes, as would many other places, rally design etc. about £15 each is the going rate IIRC

[philfingers 5]

this place are worth a try, they quoted me around £110 deleivered I think for a pair of 200-300 progressives, 70mm ID (PTS Fitment) x 10"

This is a custom made to measure spring

 

edit; doh and the link http://www.coilsprings.co.uk/

otherwise keep a look out for maybe some 306 tar ones as thye would be higher rated than 205 tar, maybe 270-300?

some sold on ebay the other week for £20-30

save for some eibach ERS springs - they are worth the extra

Hi Steve

 

The largest ID we stock is 65mm, we specially make 70mm ID & larger..

 

To set up to make 2 off 9" 300 x 70mm ID to clear £50.00 each plus carriage & VAT, delivery 10-14 working days.

 

A New production run starts today, so if you order today, delivery would be inside 10 working days.

 

If you place an order, can you confirm the exact shock seat size, ie is it 70mm exactly or does it measure smaller ?

 

Regards

 

Andy
