Default Q: Replacement coil springs?

Hi Gents

Well, the one I just bought has a broken rear spring. What is the closest spring to these that will provide the as close as possible to Saleen ride height/ride/handling. Red coils, 1st choice.

Saleen rep has yet to respond.

Thanks

Steve

I'd probably call Maximum motorsports and get an entire set of H&R springs.

Got em.

I thought I'd be out of luck on that one.

Saleen rep didn't get back to me as agreed.

Thanks again Dave and Gents.

Thank you all for your help.

Just as a matter of info, Saleen does not have the original red springs. However, they will have some made in black and be $500.00 if you get them from Saleen.

This price opens up many high performance spring options if the originals were not available.

The original shocks via Saleen are $1,500.00

Again, options at this price range may be better today.

Steve

I find that really strange.
The springs are coated, not bare metal like the rear axle.
Were the springs rusted ?

The front springs red finish is peeling off. The rears finish look ok at his point.

I will post pics of all the old springs shortly.
