NK 2000/2000ti/tilux Green Springs - Need Measurements

[duggi]

As some of you may know from my post about my red NK, I have a set of green-striped springs (stiffest from factory) on the car, but am missing one of the front springs which has been replaced for a white.  I’ve reached out to a local automotive spring manufacturer and they can use the one green spring to make me a new set, it’ll be just under $600.

 

I’m hoping someone else has the green springs on their car and can provide me the coil count, wire diameter, diameter of the coils themselves and the height of the spring so I can verify that I have the correct spring to start with before I dive-in.

 

For those interested, once I verify the specs, I can probably have as many sets made as wanted...feel free to let me know via comment here or DM if you’re interested in having a set made.

 

I’m looking for this information relatively quickly, there’s a 3-5 week lead time and I want to get this car on the ground by the end of the year.

That sounds crazy expensive. Why not track down a used original pair for the front? If you had some lowering springs made I should imagine they'd be a market, but not stock.

I’ve been looking for a single or pair of green-striped front springs for almost two years and have given up.  I can get replacements in red or white stripe varieties easily enough, but I want the car to retain it’s original and uncommon factory (or maybe dealership) setup with the green-striped springs, so having a set reproduced from my remaining original is my only choice.

 

Fortunately the blue workshop binder has the specifications I need to verify my currentspring ?
