Viva HB

[dagsy]

so would those coilovers in the ebay link suit a '69 HB then?

[Graeme]

No it's just he rear springs.

Can contact avo or gaz about a small coilover kit for the fronts and a rear spring with adjusters and uprated shocks.

[dagsy]

so what springs do you guys use to get your HB's so nice and low? I have used Lovells in my HB Torana and I still have about 2" clearance. I want to lose about at least 1- 1 1/2".

[Graeme]

Any corsa b rear spring will fit. Its a bit of guess work really. But you can buy as in the link with a low spring and a adjuster platform.

[dagsy]

being a good old aussie, am i right to assume that corsa is a model of vauxhall? or is it brand of springs?....its all upside down down here....

[Graeme]

Yeah a vauxhall. A barina there I believe. About a 97 model and all of that shape.

[dagsy]

that's interesting, i will have to have a look at the springs catalogue and see what they list for a barina. thanks for the info.

[dagsy]

hd no luck with the spring companies here, they all want the measurements to make custom ones. would you mind saying(or not) what springs you have/had in yours before the airbags?

[Graeme]

Rears are as said the corsa b rear springs that lower corsa b by 90mm.

Fronts are standard ones that were remade with a higher poundage but smaller sping.

Grahame,
A couple of questions about bagging, I love the look of bagged cars, and I seriously thought about bagging the Estate, but I decided to go the more conventional route of adjustable springs and coilovers.
I have asked a few questions elsewhere about bagging, but never got much in the way of answers, Obviously the bagging system has been derived from HGV usage, then into self leveling on high end saloon/estate cars. and then specialist bagging systems.
How do you get around the springing rate of the bags which is adjustable as the ride height lowers, as you lower the car the rate lessens, obviously you are not going to be driving it hard with the sump 20mm off the floor anyway, just dump it on the bumpstops??? I did think of using sprung bumpstops as supplementary low ride springs.
