maxi trac springs

[msh]

So has any one tried these yet?

Fronts are $50 each and rears $70

That's bloody cheap!!!

These springs are Indian made and imported by Motospecs (a wholesale division of Repco and the same company that distributes Champion plugs, Fuelmiser etc.). In my experience they aren't a bad spring for the money and better than most of the comparable brands.

are they standard or lifted?

[Podge]

50mm lift.

Watch the fronts they have been known to be a fairly short spring

I can't comment on this brand but I have heard of the indians usingdifferent material compositions that are inferior to those specified in Australia for spring steel. But if you get them from Repco their warranty is pretty good.

the ratio is they fit six out of ten sierras. I had a set and they didnt fit my sierra. But apparently there was sposed to be a new setting for the springs brought in by about now.
If your fitting them yourself and are prepared that u might have to take them out then give them a go lol.......

I also have a 20% off coupon at repco, so that makes them even cheaper, $192 for a set of springs. It's either these or keep saving and go with dakars.

i bought a set of maxi trax from repco. the front fitted ok. but the rears were so damm hard to fit due to the stiffness of the leafs.

the rears were that stiff it wouldnt even flex. the rear shackles rested on the stop. ie the bit of metal that stops the shackles travelling forwards.

after all that effort. the springs were so hard i ended up chucking it in the bin and bought a set of old man emus.

LOL! I think there's a lesson in that for anyone looking at the cheap options - you get what you pay for

So, save up & buy the most reputable spring for a zook - Old Man Emu

..... I did

I'll just wait and go for the ome's then, do it right the first time.
