[omega squared]

Just ordering new front springs for 2000 W Omega 3.0 estate.
Lots of different sources on ebay who do you recommned?

Are the estate ones for the 3.0 the same as saloon, front springs.

Try ringing round some factors for the likes of Boge.

Actually, front springs are usually so robust, I've never bothered checking GM prices...


So, have yours failed?

ones broken quite badly needs replaced for mot.

Put a wanted advert in the test section and ask admin to move to the parts wanted,/for sale section.
 i think front springs are the same for all the V6 estate/saloon, exc MV6.
No dubt i will be proved wrong.

Front Estate/Saloon springs are the same.

But you need to take into account engine and trim level on Retail cars. Ie Elite are softest, Mv6 hardest, with everything else(gls, cd, cdx etc) being standard in between. 
Then the weight of the engine also needs to be accounted for. For example if you fit springs for a 2.2 Elite, to a TD or V6 Elite you'll not get the correct ride height, and the ride quality will be all shot to hell too.
Most factors only seem to do standard springs for omegas, although Boge where an oe supplier iirc? So presumably they have the full range.... Although I bet they don't have Mv6 lowered sports chassis.

thanks some good replies.
It only gets used for the occasional trip towing the racing car or trips to the tip so not too worried about spring rates as long as they fit.
thanks

You will be if the front end is 6 inches higher or lower than it should be, or wallowing or bouncing off bumps. It's a simple job to get the right ones.
