Broken spring
« on: 16 April 2017, 23:25:09 »
Inevitably my rear NS spring has broken  ::) so going to replace both and considering upgrading to a stronger spring as she is often loaded up especially when going on holiday (no not with a tin tent).

Question is do I have to put in upgraded springs or is there a alternative solution ? like using standard vectra or astra estate springs which are just that little bit better (and possibly cheaper).

Thanks Phil

Cheap... €35 for both...

https://www.atp-autoteile.de/de/product/76903-bestprice-2x-fahrwerksfeder-hinterachse/v-13648

Pricey but longer, possibly HD compared to cheap... €95 each...

https://www.atp-autoteile.de/de/product/882214-optimal-fahrwerksfeder/v-13648

Somewhere in the middle price wise, but definitely HD as thicker spring diameter than others and shorter but with more coils... £105 for both...

Thanks for that Doc, your precious  ::) ebay ones look like the right candidates
