I'm not convinced the fronts are a whole matched pair, TBH, despite the comments of yourself and Chris.

Irmscher springs are a relatively rare beast so, if you have the ability to uplift and transport, I recon they are worth a punt if you have a local contact.

Probably worth a couple of quid just for the rears......   :y

up to £300 possibly? Max?

If I had an estate I would have them. Put it that way. Seen Irmscher springs in far worse nic, paint flaking off etc, but not broken. Although that means nothing tbh.

Although apart from being red, there's little evidence they are Irmscher. I would want to see the part no.s printed on them before parting with serious cash.

Appologies for slow replies, battery issues.

I think a call to my brother in a few hours and get him to have a look at the advert as he works for Ford in the drawing office and for that price even if they go to £20 got to be worth it don't you think ???

Yep. Doubt they'll go for that though. That said, I haven't chacked interest. Are they being watched? Or what ever? I hate eBay. So not familiar with using it...

Would expect the price to shoot up in the last 0.00001 of a second of the auction.

compared to the price of new OE lowered MV6 springs for an estate, even at say £150 for the full set, they'd be worth it (if intact and not fubarred)


(i have just such a set of new OE lowered springs....    and my wallet STILL aches,  despite AndyC's bestest best efforts at getting a sensible price.....  let's just say, it's over £200 just for the rear pair.....   )

Been on the phone to my brother who is only about 80 miles from the location but seller will not post outside Germany and as my brother is only just over the border looks like they will go for the low price they are at :(

No, I e-mail'd the person on ebay to ask if he would post to my brother in Genk Belgium only 80 miles from seller location but he said he would only post to Germany. They sold for under £50, to late now :( ???
