Title: rear coil springs
Post by: flyer 0712 on 12 July 2016, 16:43:38

Want to replace the rear springs and shocks on my desmond....looking through the maze of offers that are about i am settling for Sachs or Lesjofors....cheapest quote i can find for Sachs is £32.42 each from  G.S.F  and £39.99 from E.C.P....and for Lesjofors  at £16.81 each  from Premier Factors.......that is so cheap is it too good to be true...so although they say the make they are in the advert i have emailed Lesjofors supplier asking if they are genuine and if they will fit my car...but after 2 days ..no reply...my question is,,how can i tell if they are genuine units,,are there makers  brand name or marks on them to identify them as genuine..or can anyone recommend a trusted supplier.thanks  :y
