had car MOT'D today it passed , but need a new coil spring is it worth getting both sides done or not and do you know a good place to get then cheap ?

[TheBoy]

Yes, do both sides.

A broken spring should be a failure 

Does your Elite still have the self levelling rear suspension?

[CHRIS Dewey]

i know that mate lol thats why i need to get it done asap and yes it dose

[TheBoy]

Damn, those springs are more expensive

I paid £147 for a pair of Boge ones 2 years ago (and removed them last year, as the Elite was just too soft for me)

[CHRIS Dewey]

really so what springs do i need to get then ive seen some on euro car parts for £31 a side

They will be non self levelling I imagine.

From dealer, even with TC, horrendously expensive. Sure I read KYB do some, as well as non self levelling.

Though from your other thread, you may need to see if your self levelling shocks are knackered, as if so, may be worth removing self levelling

[CHRIS Dewey]

Bugger I should have nicked the ones you stored in my parents garage

Kyb (Kayaba) is the manufacturer.
Rob has given you the Kyb part no. For self levelling springs.

But, you need to check that you have;
1 self levelling shocks otherwise buying SL springs will be a disaster
2 SL shocks that work, or yo may as well bin SL altogether unless you tow or carry heavy loads regularly.

See the guide on testing self levelling suspension.
