Krzys Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Ok thanks i'll look into it or drop @Chandler a pm For now im back on my mgzs fronts and wound the rears up as ive noticed i need the helper springs for the fronts which is why it sits so low.... Also they're proper solid over bumps, no give at all but the helper springs would mean i wont have to wind em up so much to get the height i want Aaanyway... Ive got a Hawk central locking kit... Hoping to fit today or tomorrow... Looks rasy enough but is there anything i should take into account before i crack on??@KiNK43 should know the answer to this. Are these helper springs something that came with your suspension kit then? Never heard of them myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snakey135 Posted June 18, 2014 Author Share Posted June 18, 2014 If you look at this on the right the main spring has a thinner spring under it, thats a helper spring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grant Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Never seen a design like that before .. What coils are they ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snakey135 Posted June 18, 2014 Author Share Posted June 18, 2014 They're only cheap tuning art coilovers... But im going to leave them for now till i get my extended wheel nuts as im chewing these nuts up getting them on n off!!! Lol will get stuck with them on if im not lucky lol!!Anyway, with the hawk central locking... Ive wired it all up as the booklet said (leaving out the window delay, hazard flash and boot release for now) and its getting a response from the fob, and led coming on when locked etc but im getting nothing out of the box with the wires that are suppose to go to the the lock actuator??? Does anyone know if we have negative feed locking or positive locking type?A bit confused.com here lool :S !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vtec2011 Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Wow! Now that is low, looks so perfect! I looked at those alarm systems a few times and been tempted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiNK43 Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 i got helper springs on my tein super streets. they are a good idea if your low anyway stop the spring becoming unseated if you catch some air.get stuck in with the hawk kit its a doddle if you got the paper work with wiring colours etc from them.im gonna fit another soon in me new daily runabout Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiNK43 Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 negative locking mate. you have to cut the locking wires im sure. one into hawk box and one out. not just connect onto the wire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snakey135 Posted June 18, 2014 Author Share Posted June 18, 2014 Yeah i think helper springs are the way forward for me to be honest!And with the hawk, what did you fit it to... Your mb?? Do you have your coloured wire diagram by any chance?? Ive emailed Hawk requesting it but no luck yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snakey135 Posted June 18, 2014 Author Share Posted June 18, 2014 Maybe thats where im going wrong i was joining them 'TO' the door lock wires rather than cutting them and joining onto them...Using the top left 'negative locking' diagram here...I'll have another bubble tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
