Spitfire, Apolan,
On the front its not possible due to the coilover design. At the rear, it is possible, the reason you've never heard of this happening is that someone needs to do some serious offroading for it to go wrong. The springs usually are clamped pretty tightly at the top. But I've had once or twice with the car raised, that a spring did fall out. But this was while working on the car with the axle fully down and the springs fully hanging loose. Under normal driving your spring will always be compressed due to the weight of the car. If you go over a bump to fast and your car comes off the ground the axle doesn't just fall away, your shocks wil take care of that. The opening that gets created isn't enough for the springs to fall out and you should hit the ground way sooner. But with serious offroading, the added vibrations and the higher risk of being off the ground.. Then again, doing serious offroading with a stiff suspention? You gottah be mental to do that. I'd be more worried about loosing my teeth and breaking my back then my springs coming loose ![]() Greetz, Bastiaan "mux213" Olij Moved down under, no more hachi ![]() |
