    Year : 2003

    Default Is it viable to fit VXR estate springs on to my 3.2 Signum?

    As the springs that are fitted as standard are made from cheese (I have had one snap)!

    Whats the pros and cons with fitting VXR estate springs? Will the shocks be ok? What will the drop be? How firm are these springs. Are they a straight swap? etc etc etc.

    All information welcome.

    They have the same front axle weight rating, so should be fine.

    Cheers @relellion.
    What about the rears? Whats the drop on these? How firm is the ride? Does anyone have any part nos for them? Sorry for all of the questions but the normal springs are made of chocolate. I'm not going standard ever again. lol
