G'day I'm fitting new springs, I've got a ruf but the rears are too short Any know of a spring that is a couple of inches or so longer that would suit a 2" lift? Ive been quoted $200 per pack for customs from Westcoast which is too much. Cheers |

What rears are you running at the moment that are too short? |

There's no such thing as too short for a car with 3/4- just slide the 3/4 spring up a bit. Shackle angle is adjustable. Ps the car was set up on ome, don't know what's in it now. |

Off the shelf EFS rear mains are ~1040mm. Significantly longer than std rears |

Your car has the longest extension I ever did- it was ruf#1 Circa 1998  - 100mm (!) i am down to 35mm now with 2" on the bumpstops when I do a ruf. I'd slide the shackle hanger back about 60mm, if you don't know someone who can weld, try efs packs or look at custom.

Steve I really appreciate the info. The only reason i want to go longer is the shackle hits the stop after about 15degrees of movement and the static position is already short of vertical. I like the idea of longer springs and was thinking i could pull the diff forward a little more do you see any problems there? welding is no problem either if that is a better option, I think youre original ome springs are still in it, the fronts arnt too bad but the rears are stuffed, 13 years not a bad lifespan it looks like its been used pretty hard
