Pre facelift estate rear springs
« on: 11 June 2012, 19:15:57 »
I need a pair quick and cheapish if possible  :'(

Snapped one in half this morning bouncing  driving slowly over a speed bump  :-[

Can anybody recomend any ?

Are they left / right handed or universal ?

One single spring no good to anyone. Always change springs in axle pairs.

Plus it's a continuos width wire. Omega ones taper at the ends.

Although it does say 10 available. Missed that. ;D

Why not check? http://www.kyb-europe.com/catalogue.asp

They are/should be progressive rate spring. Single width wire will not give a progressive rising rate.(gets stiffer the more it's compressed)

Tbh, I could do with them a little bit stiffer because of the gas tank and the amout of weight I carry in the back  :)
I'll have a look in the morning though  :y

Cheers Chris  :)

Did these turn out to be the correct tapered at the ends springs?

According to the ebay advert, they should be tapered at both ends.
They should be here thursday or friday
