Murano wheels should not rub even on GOOD stock springs and inserts with proper tire sizes. Mine don't. Lee

PS: Actually as of this very day--the Muranos are off the car as it is in my garage getting worked on. I have replaced the exhaust system with a Stebro and am doing some other things---such as straigthening out the wiring from a butcher job by a previous owner installing an after market remote start security system and aftermarket sound system. A real challenge to get it all uninstalled and back to essentially stock electrical condition. Lee

I'd be interested in a set of these springs but I'm a little concerned about the effect on handling with much stiffer rear springs and stock front ones. |

Re: Rear Coil Spring replacements ??? Anybody have some made?
Yes, I definatley visited Dayle's site. His rate was too high for me (175 rear, mine are around 150), I could only buy all 4 (front & rear) through him as opposed to just rear, I did not want the car dropped, and I needed an affordable solution to put the car back to stock height (and a little higher), and hopefully prevent sagging in the future. My front springs are fine.
Maybe I could have called Dayle and got him to do just 2 coils but I figured I'd learn something in the process and get the satisfaction of doing it myself. My springs were completely gone...I would hit a minor bump and hear/feel the rear bottom out. So I did not get these new springs just for the sake of making the wheels stop burning a hole in the fender lining. although it was the motivating factor...they were much needed. I don't see any issue with just replacing the rear springs and keeping the front stock. I'm not driving the car on a track so I can't speak for how well they take a hard corner at 65mph! I drive it more like a touring car, than a sports car. Besides, a 150 spring rate is not much higher than stock (110). This car is very well taken care of! I've never been more excited about driving it...I love this SVX! Especially now that the squishiness is gone !!! Last edited by svxcuseme; 04-29-2010 at 09:43 PM. |

Ali....sorry for taking so long to reply. I replied to your email FINALLY! I attached the build sheet to that email. I tried posting it here in the new photo post but had issues. I like the old lockers better!
If you use coil spring specialties, ask for Izzy. He was a big help. Anyway, I gave you my cell# so call me with any questions. Again, apologies for the delay in getting back to you. Marc |

Re: Rear Coil Spring replacements ??? Anybody have some made?
For those interested, I have Mychailo's sport springs in "regular" height with Koni inserts. The firmness is great. Not harsh even on roads with a lot of bumpy seams and patches. You do get a jolt from wayward unexpected bumps. I feel he got it just right. My brother who drives a Porsche 911 twin turbo was really impressed by my suspension.
