does anyone know where i would be able to get some springs like the calmini 3 inch springs as i have contacted calmini directly and they wont sell them seperatly. Contacted dobinsons about something simular but more or less got laughed at. Any ideas?

Calmini springs have a very unusual design - do you just want 3" springs or is there something specific about the calmini spring that you were looking for?

Not specifically the cal springs just want something that can get a decent lift with a decent free height so as to retain the coil. Currently have approx 40mm lift springs with 2 inch spacers open length of coils is 320mm just get 50mm of down travel as at rest coil length is 270mm. I would like to keep the wheels on tne ground. Called tim at oda today he can order 3 inch springs but have to be made he has 3 inch xl7 coils for the rear but im not sure. I dont want issues with spring rates being to high i dont want a harsh ride as they were designed for a heavier vehicle. Plus then i need to try to match a coil for the front. Might just try his 3inch coils unless you have another option coz googling it is doing my head in and calmini just dont want to play

Try alter ego motorsport, pretty sure they sell everything sperately. Be aware that u should add a spacer to ur a frame, 3" is to much for the stock joint.

Ive tried emailing them on several occasions but have never recieved a reply they do a nice upper arm. But yeah i have all the good bits from the cal kit front arms rear lower arms, diff drops (good is debatable on these) and the strut spacers. Didnt get the upper arm but have the 2 inch spacer already in there
