Hi Tim, Sorry for the delay, I have been on holiday. I don't know if you want both front and rears but you can find the info on the forum.
Look under LIBRA/ SPIDA and go to page 3, there you will find the heading SPRING RATE/LENGTH. If you go to the last post you will find the recommendation
Fronts 8" 225lb Rears 8" 300lb.

Just bought a set of fronts shocks from Protec at £228 the pair inc vat
A pair of springs £52.80 inc vat
P &P £12.oo inc vat

A pair of rear shocks will be £300 inc vat
I assume the springs and P&P to be the same.

I hope that this helps. If you are still interested please get in touch.

spoke to Protec yesterday and they are prepared to supply rears if we can get 4 orders, so would those interested please pm me there contact details
and I will let you know how we are asked to present our orders and make payment.

Hi Don,

My details should be in your inbox.

Fingers crossed !

Cheers,
Tim

Did anyone find out if spyder rears are same as libra they are listed separately on protech web site but the fronts also are but they will be the same didn't want spyder owners to be left out if they are the same

While at the Silverstone Classic, we had a look at Daves Spider, and the rear coilovers are quite a bit shorter than the Libras.

Hi Don
Can you advise what is the latest status on purchasing of the coilovers.?
Regards PiltV40

Hi PiltV4o, There has been movement over the last few days but to type it in here would take me ages.
I will give you a call on Monday morning to bring you up to date.

Anyone heard any news yet about when (Or if) these will be ready


Been over 2 months & i ain't heard anything. Could spend the money on something else if it goes much longer....

Hi all,
did anybody fit coilover shocks on the front of a coupe to remove the rubber doughnuts?
Thanks
John

Look here the-jones-coupe-t581-30.html

There's more Coupe coilover info on the forum somewhere. He's cut the tower so the top mount can be moved in to give better geometry, i think if you use the standard top mount it's almost falling spring rate

At long last I am pleased to say that Protec can now supply both front and rear shocks for the Libra.
The front shocks require 8" springs while the rear require 10". As far as I know the prices for both
shocks and springs remain as originally quoted by Protec.

Nice one Don. Will get my set ordered tomorrow.

Father Christmas has arrived early this year........



Mmmmmmmmmm, Shiny, Shiny,

Hi Sven, they wont look like that after driving through a UK winter
John

You may well be right John,
Except that i don't use the Libra in the winter. It gets tucked up in the garage (with the motorbike) as soon as the gritters come out & start spreading the dreaded salt on the roads. I just use the Vectra for december thru to march.
I'll also give the shocks a good coating of ACF50 before i fit them. For anyone who hasn't come across ACF50 before, its what all the biker boys use to protect their pride & joys through winter from corrosion. Brilliant stuff!
