Technical Performance
The FMS 1:6 Jimny Front Automobile Leaf Springs are precision suspension components that play a crucial role in your RC Jimny's overall handling performance and ride quality. Manufactured by FMS as an OEM part, these leaf springs deliver the spring rates and progressive stiffness characteristics necessary for stable cornering, controlled body movement and consistent ground contact across varying terrain types. The leaf spring design is particularly effective in 1:6 scale RC applications because it naturally provides dual functions: primary spring stiffness combined with built-in damping characteristics that reduce oscillation and improve overall suspension stability. Whether you're running your Jimny over rocky outcrops, through water crossings, or across packed soil tracks, these suspension components ensure your model maintains predictable handling and responsive steering feedback. The engineering quality matches FMS's reputation for delivering performance-focused RC components that enthusiasts trust, and the springs are designed to integrate with your existing Jimny drivetrain and chassis without compatibility issues. For serious RC car UK hobbyists and scale crawler enthusiasts, suspension upgrades are among the most effective ways to transform your model's real-world performance characteristics.

If you live in one of these areas, feel free to contact us before ordering so we can confirm the delivery options and costs for you.

If one of the items is going to take a while we will give you the choice either wait for everything to arrive or let us send the available items now and deliver the rest later. It is up to you.
- We use trusted delivery partners to make sure your order gets to you safely and on time. We use DPD for next working day deliveries and Royal Mail for the 2 day option.
- As soon as your order is on its way we will send you a tracking number by email. If you provide your mobile number at checkout we will also send delivery updates straight to your phone so you can keep an eye on progress.
