Landrover leaf springs are handed to allow for the weight of the driver, as there is always a driver.

Omega springs are the same both sides, they are wound the same way and are the same length, vx only sell them in pairs. Search trade club for a single spring and they don't sell them, not listed.

There is no reason why a v engine would need a longer spring on one side on a road car.

Measure the hight from ground to wheel arch on both sides. If different length springs fitted the measurement will be different one side. A lopsided car.

As said, springs are sold, and should be fitted in axle pairs, not axle odds. Bet the car pulls like a bugger.

Absolutely definately correct Chris.
;)

All the Omega coils that I've changed have been done in axle pairs.
And all of 'em have had the same part numbers (per pair) too - confirmed by the Kilens now on Markseth's TD Estate.

One reason that I've yet to source 'em from Ebay .....
