ZT-T 260 rear springs

SCP440 · 1st May 2017, 16:25

I have recently had a rear spring fail on my ZTT 260 and luckily I thought had a pair in stock, they are listed by the supplier as the correct springs for the car and do fit. The problem is they appear to be too soft and the car even unloaded has the same ride height as it did before when it was loaded. With the rear suspension design of the 260's this makes the top of the wheels angled in which is probably not the best for long tyre life.

Any way I have been in contact with some spring manufacturers in the UK and one has come back to me saying he can copy the unbroken spring I have.

Are there any other 260 ZTT owners that will be interested? We are looking at about £150 a pair plus VAT.

Steve you can get an idea of numbers but I'd suggest before there is a committent get a set made and test, been disappointed in the past with springs. Also if there is a good amount we can sort like with the heated screens.

Have a chat with Dom as he did something recently, if memory is not playing up.
