Peter Lloyd Rallying Tarmac And Gravel Spec Springs

[Anthony 1,003]

Has anyone on here used either the Tarmac or Gravel spec springs that Peter Lloyd Rallying sell for 205 GTi's?

 

Can anyone confirm the poundage/spring rate (I can probably get this from PLR if needs be) and the ride height that they sit at compared to standard, ideally with a picture?

 

I've got a pair of new Bilstein Challenge dampers to fit to the car, but the springs on the car currently are too low for my liking and too soft (compared to the 22mm rear torsion bars) so I'd like to address that at the same time as fitting the dampers.

I have a set of PeterL gravel spec springs on my pug with sprintline front shocks and they are at standard ride height at 160Lbs. The tarmac springs are 190-195Lbs, slightly lowered but dont know by how much.

also very interested in this information as I don't really want to fork out for coilovers but really want to fit the 23mm TBs I have

 

but perhaps 190lbs is a bit too soft for 23mm bars anyway?

Just fitted the tarmac springs to my Challenge shocks. I think they are 180Ib, given that they have 18-Ib written on them.

 

Not fitted to the car yet, currently dremeling the diff casing for the TransX diff

I run the gravel spec springs from peter Lloyd 180Ib rings a bell.

185 for gravel

&

225 for tarmac

Aren't these the rates quoted for the "coilover" 70mm diameter springs. I always thought the std diameter springs (like the Peter Lloyd ones) were more for the 1400 Challenge cars (not allowed to run height adjustable coilovers) and are slightly softer (160lb gravel, 180lb tarmac).

may be yes

 

but in the peugeot sport build book the group n rating are the same rating as the coilovers

 

i maybe wrong but where the group n fixed platform (non adjustable ride height)
