Although not on a 1200 scroll down to leaf springs listing (flex-a-form) and see what I mean 8 pounds versus 30 on the ke25!!!!
got to go to work but had to make this posting, bye.

Looks cool! And implication is these can be made to any dimension.

DDgonzal it looks like the company is in your neck of the woods well... same country. Is it possible u could find out how much 4 a 1200 setup??

hehe, it's only 4,800 kms from me

Hmmm... word is they are easy to install, but performance is questionable?
Sportmachines.com Survey. Complaints were: Lowered vehicle too much and ... springs that broke. Other users highly recommendeded them. Keep in mind that these are GMC owners -- trucks that weigh three times what the 1200 weighs. Some users were told not to overtighten the bushings.

I still want them. Ill have to give measurements for the rear and front on their email.
thanks ddgonzal.

OK, Flex-a-Form has a new Web site at http://flex-a-form.com.

I spoke with Mr. Smolen. He said:

- about $420 for one set
- about $375 each, if we order five or more sets
- It takes about a week

Who wants a set? And are these the right dimensions?

The measurements for the 1200 are:
A-dimension overall = 45".
B-dimension center pin = 19 5/8".
C-dimension arch height = 2".
D-dimension chord = 44 3/4".
E-dimension bolt diameter front = 5/16", back = 25/64".
F-dimension width = 2".
Car weight = 1640 pounds
Axle Percent Rate: 48/52?

Ayy caramba!!!

I was thinking about 300 US especially considering we all would want different heights to suit our setups. Well it looks like Ill have to dump my other halve or sell her to afford them. especially since I want a transverse one for the front too.
Any one else willing to sell an organ to get them or is it just me

I plan to buy a set once I find my car ... the thing I'm looking at is a potentially smoother ride. On a 1200, the front suspension is good, but the back is very stiff. These will reduce the unsprung weight significantly. Probably need different shocks on the back to match.

Ill have to do a multilink or uneven wishbone front end as datoman1000 will then look at the lighter unsprung weight of the cf springs to inprove the weight and handling of the miniscule 1000.

Thread from the dead !!!


Did we ever get any feedback on these springs or were they a no go ?
