Guys, where can i get some new springs for the Sherpa, can really afford to chop em, there hard enough to get as it is, i want some about 25mm lower

Even if i can get some stock ones i can cut and keep mine as spare

i dunno where u can buy em from.
dusnt seem any1 knows really.

best thing to do may be to ask some suspension specialists about them or either get some made up

Theres not a huge amount of knowledge on this forum about the Sherpas.....but probably one or two people.

It's an easy thing to pickup the phone and call a couple of car parts places. Most have listings for thousands of cars and should be able to offer a replacement.
I'm in WA and heres a few places I'd ring off the top of my head

Coventys
Repco
Malz
Supercheap Auto
WA suspenions
Pedders
Midas
Auto 1
Veale
.........Yellowpages.com.au

sump gaskets dont need to be bought.
go into an Auto store and buy some RTV type Sensor Safe Silicon used as gaskets.
then use that without any type of gasket.

and u have rung Subaru havent u?

u can also buy large squares of gasket cork which can be cut to the same shape as your old gasket if it is that type

I got over looking for coils, no one could help, so i made a full set of coil retainers and bolted the springs to there seats, then made a choise on ride height and chop chop, all good now
