Adjustable rear springs
Adjustable rear springs
Hey all
Was surfing the net in my usual random manner and I found this set up on what I think is a Mazda 6, thought it would be worth putting it up here to sprout a few ideas into peoples heads
Something like this could work very well, and shouldn't be too hard to set up either.

its looks very easy to do.
I was looking at the suspension this afternoon when I was test fitting my new Jelly bean mags. From what I could suss out is remove both bump stops and have one inserted / bolt into the adjusting spring mount. Actually having the bump stop bolted into the height adjusting part would mean you could secure it all in place too.

Theres two main issues with this set up. THe first is ensueing the spring stays trapped. If it doesn't then you could end up with the spring on the road! Entrappement can be done with a variable rate spring or a helper. the helpers aren't good if there's no strut. This leaves the variable, which I don't think are commonly available in 60mm competitiob springs.
The other issue for us is the pulsar would need to have it installed with the adjuster on the swing arm. But on the body side our spring sits round a short cylinder witha closed end that the bump stop strikes. This could also stop us using 60mm springs.

This thread comes up every 2 months, and the same idea comes up, and no one does it. hahaha

it doesn't sound so bad when you break the idea down into parts.
Industrial Springs charge about $230 a pair for custom springs - any size, and spring rate.
And in regards to springs Cal there is no reason the springs couldn't start at 90mm inside diameter and finish at 60mm inside diameter to suit adjustment platforms.

to do this would cost around 200-300 in parts

I agree - but I can't see why people would spend the money on the fronts and not the rear. You can't corner weight or balance a vehicle on just the fronts.....and it's got to be better than buying a few sets of custom springs for each hieght requirement.

im in for a set for whoever makes them =D

Hey guys
Check out my thread, I have a custom coilover/suspesion setup in my N12.Its nothing flash,just thrown together in a day but VERY effective!
Will be making a prototype adjustable setup for the rear and will start producing them once I have something I am happy with
Timeline on the prototype completion will depend on amount of interest I get.
Any NZ guys are more than welcome to contact me as I will be looking at moving a few sets at discounted price just to get a bit of feedback to help with the R&D process.
