Anyone know if a set of springs from a short wheel base are the same as for long wheel base, its the rears that I'm most interested in.
Or does anyone have a pair of rears please?

Re: 460 Springs

The springs are the same dimension/ diameter but different rates. The swb springs are lighter duty than the lwb due to the load capacity of the lwb.
However, there as so many different rates available that some may be interchangeable. Above all relates to rear.
Fronts are very similar if not identical.
You need to establish what you reqyuire in terms of load lift etc

Re: 460 Springs

Hi SB,
I have been given a set of LWB springs ( double yellow stripe )
to try on my SWB . These seem to be about the softest and I hope
they will be ok. I am only unsure of the length and thus the ride height.
so I am very intersted to see how you go .
Cheers, 8)
