    Searching for Springs

    in Off Road

    Posted

    Settle down big fella! At least our taste is good enough not to sell the Baja here...

     

    Oh yeah, bring on the swampers!!! we don't get any little swampers here ;)

     

    Also, you won't find the Scorpion Springs advertised as Scorpion Springs here in Australia, we know them as King Springs because that is who makes them. Every time you see a cars specs as having 'king's' then that is what we are talking about.

    Ben, thanks for the info. But, I contacted King and they said they did not make any springs for the Baja, etc, nor did they plan to. What's up with that?

    Well, I have decided to use a set of Scorpion Springs on my Baja to create a mild lift. I haven't heard anything overly bad about them, and they will accomplish my aim of a tighter ride, more ground clearance, and room for some bigger tires when they are needed. And I figure it is an easy starting point for bigger things to come. ;-)

     

    However, I have been checking around little and have not found any yet. Does anyone know where I can get a set. I see they are not even pictured on the Scorpion sight, so I am worried.

     

    Can anyone point me in the right direction?

     

    Thanks,

    I have an 03 Baja I want to lift a couple inches. Has anyone used the suspension lift springs from Scorpion? How did they work out? Any problems? What is your feedback on them. Also, are there any other ways to go other than Scorpion? Thanks, Perry

     

     

    :cool: I used the Scorpion springs on my 97 OBW. They give about one and a half inches of lift. I think the handling is better, but I did upgrade the struts to KYB GR-2's at the same time. The ride didn't become to harsh, just felt tighter. Like a newer car maybe. So far I've probably put over 20K miles on it since with no issues that I've noticed. I ran 205-75-15 tires for one year, but I've gone to 215-70-15's for better on road handling. There's been no clearance issues with either size though. Good luck with your Baja. If you search this forum there's one or more folks who make other lifts for these cars.

     

    Thanks for the info. That is just what I wanted to know. Just one more thing, do the GR-2s give you more down travel, or are they the same as stock?

     

    Personally, I think I want to stay with just a spring lift for now. The other kits are much more work, from what I gather. I guess Scorpion is the only show in town for that. Another company King Springs said they don't make springs for the Baja. Too bad.

     

    Thanks again.
