Should I replace the suspension spring?

[ttc46]

Hello,

In the Front, my Dino coupe 2400 has a height difference of 2,5 cm between the right and the left body
and at the Rear, my Dino seems to have a trunk fully loaded,
So, my questions:
- which body height have you on your coupe 2400, in the front and in the rear?

- Should I replace the 4 suspensions spring (I think it could be normal on a 50 year old car)?
- Have someone bought the springs from Dinoparts? If yes, what is your experience with them?

Thanks

best is have them powder coated..and switch them around.. you will see that it really improve them

Hi again

I knew I had seen a simpler explanation/ picture, and found this picture in the F.I.A. homologation No.1640

Hi,

Thank you Fanalone for your explanation/picture
I took the measure:
- at the rear, I have 175mm instead of 195mm
- in the front, I have 223mm at the passenger side and 228mm at the conductor side
With the rear distance, I have an explanation why my Dino seems to have a trunk fully loaded !
In the front, it's curious, because , with a distance of 223mm, the passenger side seems to be right in height or I didn't took the measure correctly.

Last summer, I asked Dinoparts what height has the springs that they sell; they have 420mm in front and 350mm in rear
I will dismantle the 4 springs, measure them and after I compare with Dinoparts springs.

Don’t ignore the status and shape of the rubber parts on top of the springs! If they are worn as they often are after 50 years you have an influence on your height as well,

Hi @ThomasK

Thank you for the suggestion and you're right, it's a little thing that must be inspected.
In a few weeks, I give you the "result" after dismantling of the suspensions.

Have a nice WE.

Hello,

It's done, I have replaced the 4 suspension springs with the rubber parts and ..... I have another car !! , more stable and straight

The old springs doesn't have the same hardness anymore and the old front springs doesn't have the same height !
So, don't hesitate to verify your suspension springs ......
