Title: Rear springs
Post by: Raymond on 08 April 2011, 15:46:19: Does anyone know any manufacturer of rear coil springs for an Omega with self levelling. I have looked on here but it only says that it is different to the cars with normal suspension?

Any help and part numbers greatly appreciated

Post by: RobG on 08 April 2011, 16:10:52: KYB # RJ 6227
Title: Re: Rear springs
Post by: Jimbob on 08 April 2011, 16:11:29: Yes they are not cheap.

Annoyingly aftermarket dont exist for all options :'(

Post by: Raymond on 08 April 2011, 16:26:30: Cheers Rob, now to try and find a stockist!
Title: Re: Rear springs
Post by: Raymond on 08 April 2011, 16:47:19: Had a look on the KYB catalogue and there are two different numbers, RJ6226 and RJ 6227. Went onto BuyPartsBy and they only have the one model RJ6226. All a bit confusing. Have sent an email to KYB to see if I can get a definitive answer. Price a lot easier to swallow though 24.11 plus vat as opposed to 300. :y

Post by: amba on 08 April 2011, 18:29:25: If you are buying from Buyparts and KYB the part number you require is RJ.6227..thats what went on mine and they are for S/L saloons.

About £80=00 plus delivery.

Post by: Raymond on 10 April 2011, 19:09:54: Thanks for your help guys. I think my s/l shocks have went as well, oil on the outside. Can you replace the s/l shocks for regular shocks?
Title: Re: Rear springs
Post by: amba on 10 April 2011, 19:20:11: Yes,but you would be wise disabling the air compressor in the o/s front wheel arch and blocking off the pipework.
Title: Re: Rear springs
Post by: Raymond on 10 April 2011, 20:04:46: If I change to normal shocks would I be able to get the cheaper springs also? Has anybody changed out their self leveling suspension for normal suspension?
Title: Re: Rear springs
Post by: RobG on 10 April 2011, 20:07:00: No problems with swapping out the S/L springs & shocks, just remember as already stated, disable the S/L pump
Title: Re: Rear springs
Post by: Raymond on 10 April 2011, 20:54:22: Does anyone have any suggestions or recomendations for a good setup of springs and shocks? I think KYB are the springs I will get
Title: Re: Rear springs
Post by: Teebee on 11 April 2011, 16:28:35: Change all 4 and then you can put Bilstein B4's on with Eibach 30mm lowered springs :y

Post by: TheBoy on 11 April 2011, 18:48:51: I'll dig mine out, after market, about £150 for a pair. Still dear, but cheap than GM
Title: Re: Rear springs
Post by: Raymond on 11 April 2011, 20:13:26: Just about to order my springs and shocks for the rear, I will get the front done later when I have new brakes and a wheel bearing.

I have settled on the full KYB setup on the back.

I contacted KYB and the springs are the RJ6226 version.
I am still stuck between the two shocks, the twin-tube or the monotube. Does anyone have any idea which would be better. I am leaning toward the monotube shock at the moment.

Post by: Raymond on 11 April 2011, 22:57:33: Anyone?
Title: Re: Rear springs
Post by: feeutfo on 11 April 2011, 23:04:07: No experience of KYB shocks.

Lsc or bilstein b4.... Ime. :-/
Title: Re: Rear springs
Post by: Raymond on 11 April 2011, 23:06:40: Cheers Chris, what about the different shocks twin or monotube? I don't mind being the guinea pig for KYB.
Title: Re: Rear springs
Post by: Raymond on 12 April 2011, 03:09:02: Well took the plunge. RJ6226 springs ordered and 553162 gas-a-just monotube shocks all by KYB. Hopefully here by the end of the week so I can get them on over the weekend.
