Does anyone know the diameter of the front springs?

Surely cant be that difficult to find a spring of similar internal diameter from a 4x4 or van to fit.

If I have any luck with this I will share the info lol

GLT springs, brand Klien
Length (free):312mm
Outer diameter: 127mm
Wire thickness: 12mm (wire has plastic coating)
Coils: 6,5(4,5 active)

Stiffness: 26,01kN/m

360GL Springs, used 224 000km
Length: 338mm
Outer Diameter: 129mm
Wire thickness: 12mm (wire has only rust, no plastic coating)
Coils 6,5(4,5 active)

Stiffness: 24,76kN/m

Mk2 Escort is rumoured to be usable source for springs, some racers have repored using Volvo 240 rear springs. Either one is unconfirmed, imo.

Wow some great info there. Thanks a lot.

Pardon my ignorance but is the GLT the 1.7 litre version? If thats the case how come the GLT has stiffer springs?

I shall start my quest for stiffer springs today

GLT's are 360's with the heavier fuel injected B19 or B200 redblock Volvo lump. They're top of the V300 range.

Hello and welcome by the way!

I have a pair of stiffer front springs for sale in the offers section if you're interested

Thanks

Steve how much stiffer are the springs? I wanna go stupidly stiff.

Hmm just saw your car, they might not be suitable as they're supposed to run at standard height with the 2.0

Baba, I made spring calculator quite some time ago, it can be useful for comparing different springs as long as they are linear springs.

Classicswede (A welsh bloke called Dai), supplies springs as low as you like and as stiff as you like, but he's hard to get hold of these days - try a PM

Thanks guys. Any idea how much these springs are?

Thanks
