there is nothing similar between parabolcs or coils... besides they are both made from spring steel...


I run paras on my Sprung over 75 series, they are ok, but im not convinced

I'd like to try a set of rear parabolics up front on my RUF setup. Has anybody tried this??

Sorry for the hijack. I think I paid around the $400 - $500 mark just for a front set many years ago. All you can do is price around.

I seen a 79 series setup on E-bay. Do a search on there and they seller might be able to get you a price.

hey guys, i just found this site while trying to find inspiration for my 75,

http://www.parabolicsuspension.com/toyota/lc70.htm

the way there site suggests it to me, you can remove leafs quite easy, and for a 60 series they recommend 2 in the front and 3 in the rear, but the 75 as its normal used for work duties they recommend 3 and 4, but i think if your like me and dont really want to carry any weight then dropping them back to 2 and 3 would be ok.

if they were a decent price, what do you guys think? would they be worth it?

how do your front flex Zultan?

The only thing with them is you need quite a stiff shock as i can jump on the brakes and dive the front end over 100mm. I've been told it looks quite funny pulling up :lol:
