will HR rear springs fit EK

Post by oldgmh »

I have a HR rear end bolted up to EK springs in my EK sedan. The HR springs have an extra leaf and I would like to fit them to the EK to stop the sag in the rear when towing.
Does anyone know if they will bolt in okay - ie correct length and resulting spring height.

thanks

spring length

stop looking guys - I found a manual with the info I need. FE to EK springs are 48" and EJ to EH springs are 50" from eye centre to eye centre, so they are not interchangeable.

Hi Old gmh,
You can fit FB/EK wagon leaf springs they fit up and have an extra leaf or FB/EK ute they have 2 extra. Hope this helps you out.
Regards Tony.
