Bmxblade Posted November 20, 2012 Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 Hey there!! One of my mates recently gave me some rear springs from a corrado lowering kit , they look almost identical to the Jom rear coilover springs except they're around 2 coils shorter... Has anyone tried these before? And I I put them on will they mess up the way the car soaks up bumps and stuff? Like spring rates etc ? Any advise welcome!!

Cooper_GTI Posted November 20, 2012 Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 I don't think they'll fit, as Rado's use the same rear setup as a Mk2, which is incorporates the shock and spring together, like a macpherson, not a separate shock and spring like a Lupo...

ZX-Rowan Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 I tried it once, I know for sure that its no straight fit but I thought it would fit with some adjustments. Can you arrange a picture? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heartagram Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 It did need doing. Stupid grey interiors. Would have made a good winter car for me when the inevitable snow comes and my car is deemed utterly useless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
