He will have what you need and sure he can arrange shipment.

Thanks. Wasn't aware of them. I've messaged them through their website.

PN sent Charlie. Here are some pics: FHA 1992 with 55000 KM on it.

The FHA spring was 93.1 NM/mm which converts to 525 lb/in.

Here in the States, there are other sources for used Corvette parts than eBay and some of those vendors might ship internationally. Use keywords "used Corvette parts", "Corvette salvage", "Corvette dismantlers"

"J&D Corvettes" in California and "Corvette Recycling" in Utah are places to start.

Neither of those Zip Products springs will work as the base spring is likely a 22173028 which is 60 N/mm and the "sport" spring (out of stock) is likely an FHB at 115.5 N/mm.

If you can't find an FHA used the FSK may work

Your right Hib never say never as the front spring in my 90 was/is a FHA so... Mr Haibeck was correct as normal

You're welcome.
Glad to be of service.

For what it is worth there's an FHA for sale on Corvette Forum, but it says shipped to continental US. Maybe you can work something out if you want it.

Thanks. I have since solved the spring issue using a Keith Bechi (Eurovettes) who does imports to the UK and he was able to buy one through Mirrock for me. So problem solved.

I'm not sure how to close the thread, but this can now be closed. Thanks all. This community is a real god send and has been a massive help in the past few months since i started using it.
