hello, im looking for a rear pair of linear rate springs to go with my front coilover setup. does anyone know a good place to get them from in NSW. i know k-mac can make custom springs for about $175 a pair, but it was my understanding that a linear rate spring is alot cheaper to make than progressive.
any help would be great.

King springs have a good range of linear springs.

just checked online with king then, and i think they only make coilover type linear springs. im looking for a linear spring to fit in the standard location (like the TRD) but im sure people in AUS can make then up for extremely cheaper, it's only a linear spring with a set rate, it's not like 1 brand can perform noticably better than another.

Try ringing the Australian Distributor for TEIN, see if they have some linear Fulcrum Springs. Im unsure of numbers, or who brings them in, but i'd say they'd have them, if anyone.

king can actually make custom springs to your specs - generally around 2 weeks delivery. however you have to be very careful with what you spec, because custom stuff cannot be returned if you stuffed up

Fulcrum Suspension are in Queensland, so i dont think they are bringing them in at all. For that matter though, Fulcrum are tops to deal with, but might be a bit of a distance.

i think im just going to go with k-mac. $175 per pair any rate, and height, takes 2 days turn around. i have to double check what the apexi spring rates are for the front before i put in the order though.

175 a pair for known quality custom springs is a good price, i have got them for cheaper before, and i won't be going cheap again.

that 175 retail, so i'll be getting them cheaper. i was just askin the Q because a linear spring is just a normal spring, and therefore should be very cheap and easy to source. the 175 includes if you want progresive or linear. and i've never had or seen a problem with any of there springs. after all, it's only a spring

I had some custom springs made at "Browns Spring Works" in Melbourne, it takes about a week to get as many sets as you like made, they were $100 a pair.

You need to supply the following info:

Internal Diameter (ID)

Spring rate required

Spring length required

Weight on that particular corner of the car
e.g.1000kg RWD car with approx 50/50 weight transfer would be 250kg on each corner.

Hope this helps
Cheers
