Springs from other vehicles??

[FanIsHere]

I have a simple question for you...

I am searching on replacing my APEX springs (on KONIs sport), because they are almost dead. Does anyone know from which models I can use the front and from which the rear springs?

For example Eibach and H&R don't produce springs for the AE86. Do they fit directly from another car? I've heard something about rear Eibachs from a Nissan, but I don't know more.

Part numbers would help also.

You 've lot of possibilities from USA, Japan or even Europe makes
Eibach has a kit for the ae86 (pro kit for corolla GTS 85-87).
In Europe, easy to find Interalloy (-4cm), cobra spring, fensport ....

Depends what you want

I want something between -2cm and -4cm as I'm using the car as a daily and I'm going to join some track days every now and then (~once every two months). So I am looking for stiff springs on normal high.

But I heard that I can use Eibach and H&R springs from other vehicles, that they are affordable and easy to find.

Do you have any European links for those you said?

The problem there, at least in my case, is that none of them come with a tuv Gutachten.

I believe the eibach ones did back in the day. You're based in Germany though right? What are you running in yours at the moment?

You have Megan Springs for sale in USA (that are a nice buy though...)

For me the best option... =)
Still you have to check if they're compatible with your MOT rules....

You 're the best!

Any suggestions on these? Keep in mind that I'm using it daily and join some track days (time attack) every now and then.

I think I prefer the APEX.

I would run APEX or Cobra springs.

At the moment I run BC Racing Coilovers. But my car isn't registerd yet. I have a set of rebuild struts with APEX springs also as backup.

Had apex springs on myself, but the tuv guy told me to go away and get a Gutachten. Ended up putting some standard ones back in just to get on the road.

When I had the APEX springs on my car back in the day they came with a certificate (TUV). Bought them new from official distributor.
