Hi Guys,

Hopefully one of you experienced fellas might be able to help with my problem..

Seems I got a bit excited while playing with the suspension and cut before i realized my springs are slightly con caved. anys ways to cut a long story short i cut the springs and they wont fit in the top housing. After a trip to the U pull it i found that there are no hatchs in sight. Can anyone let me know what springs will fit?

Many Thanks

Aaron

If you just need springs then you could use the opportunity to fit king springs in either standard height or lowered. That way you don't have 30 year old saggy springs at the pointy end.

About $200 for the pair, $100 or less second hand.

You can get them anywhere that sells King Springs - any auto parts store and even ebay. What you're looking for is springs for a 1986-88 SA413 Swift GTi. From memory the standard height are KSFS12 and lowered are KSFL12, but double check that before you order.
