Hi mate they are fine. RJ6226 was for 2.5v6's it seems, why they would be any different from a 3.0 is a mistery but this is what i get on the parts list for RJ6226.....

BMW 318is (E36) (1990 to 1998 )
BMW 02 1602 (E10) (1966 to 1977 )
Vauxhall Omega 2.5 V6 B (25_, 26_, 27_) (1994 to 2003 )

It did have but I changed the dampers to normal ones.

If they are the correct springs for a non-self levelling saloon then it should be fine!  :y

how long have you had them in? It took about a month for my rears to settle after I fitted them - that or i'm just not used to a mig without broken rear springs!
