Does anyone in/around Bris have some KExx Corolla rear leaves they want to part with?

I messed around with a set of these on my LWB back in the day and got some decent results. I want to have another play with them and see if I can do any better. Failing that, anything 50mm wide that is longer than a zook spring would do.

I used a combo of Corolla and zook rear last time. How many leaves did you end up with? I had 7 and it was still super soft.

Not sure it matters. Mk2 would be longer i think. Gave the set i had to dank to play with. They are 50mm wide but have slightly thicker leaves.

Mine were 5. ke70 was an 8mm leaf, rest are 6mm No trouble with wrap, and was soft, well compared to a zook leaf.

I have some ke70/30-55 leaves here i think...

Yeah the ke70 being wagon springs would be a bit heavier for load capacity I imagine.

Freight would be a killer i'm sure, but what have you got?

Ah. My leaf collection...

Stock sierra fronts.

Full sierra 2" lift kit

Rolla ke30/55 Leaves:
a couple the length of a stock sierra front main, and the rest to gradually reduce the pack nicely. But you would have to find a main and a full length second.

and 1 mazda 323 wagon main (i snapped the other, dont recommend it as hard to find! rolla's are easier to find..just..)

There maybe some mazda's 323's chucked in there, but all thirds and fourths i think. gets abit confusing. :lol:
