Done a little research last night Dave and Western Australia Springs I think it was said that there is no one in Australia making parabolic Springs, they were all imported.

Yeah ive read about them for years doug, westralia were the only mob doing them for cruzas or early patrols for a long time,im talking 15 years maybe ive read a few bits on there ones.
The old feedback was there great but terrible for loads,alot of guys are running the new terrain tamers or west oz ones on 79s with good reviews now,we were thinking of ordering a 79 next year (canned that atm)so ive been on a few cruza sites,most say its the best thing theyve put on there trucks.
Ive been reading as much as possible on them,i think its apm or apd in malaysia thats supplying the springs,terrain tamer will popularise them so i think theyve put alot of work into designing the current ones hopefully and a bit of clever marketing to boot. Also im sure this is the 1st time ya can get them for the ifs utes.
Bad luck with the old HD tathra,there saying they reduce stress on the crown wheel and pinion to,similar to what you mentioned above,no engineer here but i guess its less shock transfered through.
I think a few are getting on the bandwagon MH,dobinsins im sure i read of supplying them now and maybe efs,.
Incorrect info posted above also,theres nothing wrong with 5-600kg spring packs,there not all gonna snap chassiss eventually as indicated,dual cabs overloaded behind the rear axles and bad terrain is the main culprit,commonsense prevails....
