Hello,

Saturn can supply the Dampertech Protech dampers but the springs are expensive from Dampertech trade price, i have found another supplier for springs but at the moment they can only supply 175, 250, 300 or 350lbs. Not 200 for the rear - although i find 250lbs much better. I will have some more info on Monday and be able to update the price list.

There is also a lot more Haynes relevant items ready to go on the site. Also please not that Saturn is not yet VAT registered so you don't need to add any VAT onto the prices.

BTW Protech are the dampers to go for, bit more expensive than Gaz but worth the invesment.

Regards.....AndyH

Andy are planing to stock spring at 400,450 or 500lbs.
At the moment I have 350lbs in front but then I did the first SFRO (IVA) hi said it was to soft....
So I need springs at 450lbs
Maybe you can have steeringrack for LHD they have a 2.4 rack at R.D, you donīt must have them in stock but if have at the website....

Cheers Janne

I'm not sure what the 1.9"x8" springs go upto Janne but i will find out on Monday. For the rack i will be stocking some but need to order a minimum but they can be mixed so i can certainly order a LHD with the rest.

Think i'll put a 2.4 on my car at the same time.

Hello Dave,

here's the link:

I'm 16st, and the car does feel much more planted on the rear with the heavier springs on.
