Coil Spring Assisters

Post by spud350 » Sat Sep 03, 2011 12:58 pm

Does anyone use these? They seem cheap at £20 so are the obvious choice when it comes to stiffening the wallowy rear end.

What size did you get?

cheers Spud.

Wouldn't use them myself, but I think one or 2 do, much better to go for the air assistors at @£100, you can adjust the pressure, not difficult to fit & do the job fantastically, this thread may help - http://www.igmaynard.co.uk/bongo/forum/ ... +assistors

In reallity they put a coil out of use therefore the remaininng coils take all the strain. Probably ok on an unconverted van but could prove problematic with a fully converted van. As advised, air bags do a better job.

Mmm I'll look into the air bags then I think.
