New springs but no point...

[SloNLow]

Alright I recently just got new springs , Pedders 2016, I believe

But thats not the point of this thread, after a very very bumpy and noisy ride home, I got down and checked out the springs, after putting my finger in between two of the coils I discovered that the 2 bump stops and actually touching each other,

So my question, Will this cause any damage to any major aspect of the vehicle, the place that did wrote on the receipt that it may cause it.

Also would it even be worth getting more slim bump stop, but the exhaust is only a good 5 cm off the ground so I fear if I was to do this the car would be rendered undriveable.

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks

Don't worry too much about it. You'll be defected and putting it back to standard height in a week anyway. No damage will be done until then though

[soop]

Pics. That sounds retarded low.

How tall are the springs 10cm?

[SloNLow]

Haven't got a picture as of yet, but when I say exhaust I mean the piping underneath, considering just swapping back anyway due to the ride it now has, especially being a wagon

[soop]

Yeah I'd say it'd be undrivable as it is..

[wikky]

but when I say exhaust I mean the piping underneath

Yep, that piping is still your exhaust.

So you have had work done and the Company that did it has given you written advice that their modifications will cause damage to your car (obviously they are laughing all the way to the bank having covered their butts as you now have no come back on this illegal modification) and you are happy with this?

Seriously, get your death trap off of public roads before the cops do it for you.

The obvious question is "Why the fark do you guys insist on buying this crap and wrecking your cars doing it, to say nothing of the safety and roadworthiness issues.?"

[ephect]

the bump stops are there to say, ok thats the max i can handle before ripping out the CV joints from your axles. yes you can get slimmer bumpstops but that doesnt mean no driveline problems soon to come.

[soop]

Calaber, I really don't understand the obsession with making your car look like its dragging its nuts over the pavement either.

If the bump stops are touching that means that you effectively have no suspension at all. Explains your bumpy ride you were bouncing on the bump stops, bugger all your shocks can do to smooth that out.

Which translates in to "HERPA DERPA HERP!!"

Would you put it past them?

[soop]

He painted it purple and spent more then a VT is worth on air bags, I'd say its very likely they drive it like that.

I also bet they wear wide brimmed flappy caps.

I knew a couple of blokes years ago who used to set up their drag cars like that with the front end way up in the sky.It gave better weight transfer over the rear axle for traction and ultimately a better launch. The cars looked stupid sitting up in the front like that,even these guys would admit that,but they didnt care if it was worth some time off the quarter.But these guys now, do it thinking that looks good,pffff.What a joke.

[soop]

Its cool to look like ya diff housing just sheered in two mate....

pedders 2016, well if you put in spring that are designed for a deawoo espero, vw bora & 316 bmw what do you expect, its the wrong spring for the car, why do you think the guys who installed it said it may cause damage, i think to cover there ass, but silly them for installing them in the first place. wouldnt be suprised if your rear x-member cracks in half.

See if I knew they were not designed for my car there was no chance in hell I'd have them put in, Swapping back to old ones after work,

Proberly painted a bad image of myself in this thread hey.

Thanks everyone who replied helpfully

Well, I don't know about any damage to your reputation on the forum, but do you mean to say that you didn't even check to see what the springs were intended to fit BEFORE you purchased them?

Now, that is DUMB!

[SloNLow]

Yes, yes it was, Lesson learned....

[Calaber]

In all fairness to you, a reputable business would never have sold and installed those springs, so you must have dealt with a pretty piss-poor business. Even if you had been adamant that you wanted those springs, they should have refused to fit them.

[SloNLow]

Yeah fair point, still a P plater rocks up in a VZ wagon on 19s, with his ######## mate in a VT SS with stockys on the rear ( Yeah I Know ) behind him, they going to assume the worst, I know I would.
