Spring length and how high the corner or the outriggers to floor whould be st hot

[Alun450]

Ok Peter, will do. I'm up at 4am cant flipping sleep!!!

I have one of my front suspension units on the bench. I'm pretty sure the tag on the spring says its 9x4 and 400lb but I'm refitting it today and can double check for you.
This is on a Griff btw, and I know you Chimaera drivers traditionally have a softer setup so the poundage might not work for you.

[rigga]

Griff's and chim's went to the same set up after a certain date I'm pretty sure, so any aftermarket suspension settings regarding poundage etc will be relevent to both cars ......something like 400lbs front 325lbs rear?

[Barreti]

Rigga is right with those poundages.

I've measured the spring for you

GAZ Label


Inside diameter

Outside diameter


In Metric
Inside 56.58
Outside 81.86mm
Not shown in the photos is the thickness of the spring
It is 12.4mm or 0.48inch
