I've just had a very interesting chat with Matt at AllGerman. He tells me that much OE stuff is made by Suplex, and would recommend their springs. He rang ZF while I was on the phone, and said it appears that the Boge 25-964-0 are to be discontinued by ZF who have none in stock. He also recommended Kilen and Leisure Force (same company). A pair of Suplex rear springs for my Estate would be £134 delivered. However I have tracked down a pair of the Boge via Camberley AF for somewhat less off their trade card. I'll post the actual price when I get them.

I have now removed my old springs, but the BOGE 25-964-0 listed by ZF as the correct ones for the TD Estate, are 25mm shorter than the originals. I am sure they will fit, but I have no wish to reduce my ride height. Useful comments welcomed.

unloaded length of springs do sometimes grow over time, as the spring loses its strength.

Have you I.D'd the original springs? Are they rough road/heavy duty or whatever? Should be two letter ident printed in them. Someone with epc should be able to give the relevant description.

Mine came with a ride height a good 20mm higher that any other car at one of the oof meets a couple of years back. The springs where reluctant to come out due to the increased length. And where not standard.

Just scraped the dirt off, and they are marked LO.   Also having done some searching I have found a length for te correct springs as 275mm.  These BOGE are 275mm, so I am now happy.
