Hawk Rear Springs

[Keith]

I want to build my Hawk with a softer rear spring than that supplied with the kit (360lb/in). Having read the various opinions here, discussing with Guy and doing a few calcs on suspension frequency I would like to fit 250lb/in springs. Whilst it seems easy to source alternative front springs (2.25"ID) from several manufacturers/suppliers I'm struggling to find anyone who might have 4.5" rear springs in stock and therefore I'm looking at paying to have them made. Has anyone found a supplier who might have what I'm looking for? Or a real long shot, has anyone got a pair I can buy off them? 9"long x4.5"ID 250lb springs

Cheers, Keith

I've had a few pairs from https://dfaulknersprings.com/ The last 2 pairs were 240lb x 11"

.... Gerry had a range all the way down to 180 lb a few years ago. Worth a try.

Guy has kindly checked for me and Gerry only has the 360lb springs in stock.

Kieth, have you given these a try, in West Bromwich, and I have no direct connection with them, bur know of people who have used them.

I've used these for springs on my Vantage, very helpful.

Thanks, I'll talk to Faulkners. And of course the softer springs might need to be longer than the 360lb x 9" I have.
