Hot reseting of leaf springs

Post by Bruceh »

Does anyone know anywhere in Brisbane where I can get leaf springs hot reset? I have what I think is a good setup on our Zook but the rear springs are now starting to sag a little. Not real fussed on cold reset.
Thanks :cool:

Don't know about a hot reset, but I got a set reset by Bayside springs quite a while back. They heated (tempered) them AFTER resetting. They have held their shape well.

There is a spring joint on Abbestford road under the ICB. I have no idea what they do or if they are any good, I just drive past them everyday.

I myself just cold set springs in my press, have done so for years. Some last at that height for years, others will sag again quickly.

I have to do my passengers side front on Saturday as I bent the bottom 2 leaves in the pack a few weeks ago and the whole pack has since sagged :roll:

mayne spring works.. been there.. would probably recommend carrolls at wacol over mayne anyday..

i went to mayne spring works with some custom springs for my 40 and they weren't very keen to help out.. did what I asked though..

the guys at carrolls were a bit more receptive and have a bigger setup then mayne.. not sure if mayne would do the hot resetting..

i got quoted 75$/pack if i remove them from the vehicle but that was a normal reset not a hot one.. that said the height they did set has held for 2yrs now.. (or maybe it was my leaf spring selection? :)
