Title: 2.0 front springs
Post by: ChrisPee on 13 March 2021, 18:36:52

Hi people, I've bought most of the front suspension parts to replace on my daily 8V Select estate - just need springs now.

My question is "are V6 and 4 cyl front springs different ratings?"

Thanks - Chris.

By the way, I've just taken ownership of my late mum's metallic black 2003 2.2 CDX auto saloon.
It has a perfect cream cloth interior, 90k, FSH, drives mint and is near perfect. I love it.  :'( :-*

Yes they are. Someone was selling some Eibach springs on here for the 4cyl model a while back if you wanted to go a bit lower than standard, otherwise standard springs from a decent manufacturer should still be available

Thanks VXL, I'm going standard so I'll look for 4 cyl ones.  :y

These should suffice... :y

Don’t tighten the wishbone/subframe bolts with the car in the air. The full weight needs to be on the ground otherwise the bushes will last to the end of your drive.
