snapped rear coil spring
« on: 12 July 2013, 11:17:23 »
Ok guys need some info. I've got a snapped rear coil on the Mig. I want to keep the air suspension.  Are my only options for a new spring genuine? They are 240 quid for the pair and as the ladt genuine set only lasted 20k miles I loath to spend that again.

Is the KYB part for the air springs?

Just looked on KYB website. They don't list rear coil spring with air assisted suspension. Have you got a part number?

It is listed but not obvious:

Just for info. The KYB springs are no longer available. It seems they were just using stock up. Those stockiest's listing them on Ebay are doing so without actually having the parts on the shelf.

Any springs will work with elite air suspension.

So standard or mv6 lsc will work fine. In fact, you may find a good improvement binning sl springs for anything firmer.

I can't tell about the rusty old set but the other springs you put up are not air suspension ones. I've bit the bullet and ordered new from VX.
