A second change of Rear Springs for the Red Chev

You may remember a few months back I changed the rear springs for a softer pair.

Sad to say after a few rides, they are way to soft and the thumps and bumps previously felt turned into a bouncey, bouncey.

Comfortable but not that safe, more importantly close to bottoming out.

I was going to hold off till just before the Chev 4 Tour in September, but have now fast tracked the job.

I am going to drive a young couple to a school formal next weekend, and did not want to run the risk of bottoming out or worse.

So.......................... that all leads to this.

Cleaned up a good set of springs, they came up very nice, look at the difference.



A coat of prime and full gloss black, and all being well will install them tomorrow.



PS. After a lay off from the ute restoration since January, while I went overseas to see my new grand child, and currently making a shed to store Chev parts in, it felt good to be back working on Chev parts.

Once the shed is completed, and parts sorted, I will be back into the ute restoration, full steam ahead.

Cheers
