Due to the problems with these rear springs, I'd always buy new. Just ring around - or ask Tunnie to, he needs some ;D

Vauxhall springs are famous for snapping... Because of this don't use secondhand because you will be changing them very soon!

Think there all the same....

Buypartsby (sutton auto factors) do KYB ones at a good price although you might have to ring them.

Only take an hour tops to change.....dead easy job.

Really, thought they were different as most ads I've seen say not for self levelling.
Anyone with access to EPC care to look for the part no please?
