Hi all, just received my coil spring replacements for the donuts. Just wondering if the larger spring goes at the front or the back of the car?
Cheers, Dave

Which conversion have you got? On my Minitastic one, the springs were marked F for front and R for rear, but I don't think they were any different.

Logic dictates the bigger spring would be at the front to take the load of the engine.. although have never used them myself.

The front has an F sticker the rear an R sticker and as above.

Minitastic guy said f and b were identical when I collected mine.

I would ring the supplier again

That would be Steve Sheldon, I have just fitted a set of these last week and they definitely are different, fronts are stronger rated and the back have more taper in.

Mine had neither f or b on just 'minitastic' in yellow printed text. How did your letters look?

Just a thought which ones did you use? Standard or lowered 'fast road' ones?

Fast road with F & R small square black sticker
