One of my rear coil springs has broken, rang VX and they quoted me £230 and thats with trade card. £275 retail. I think thats a bit high..
They also told me that there were 6 different types fitted? Thought there were just saloon/estate with or without self levelling (4 types)
Does anyone know a good supplier at a more reasonable price and are they difficult to fit?. I have some compressors and there is loads of roon once the wheel is off. Is it that simple?. I've done shocks before but never springs

thanks in advance

Aftermarket springs can be had for as little at £23 +vat.

Eibach are £60 +vat

I've just seen a pair on ebay for a 3.2 saloon for £65 + £15 delivery. £80 quid all in but are they the same as my 2.6 saloon?

should be the same.  you should be able to get that price from a factor.  i seem to remeber that were about £35 each  KYB brand

I was told there were loads of different ones, they they changed their mind and made them all the same. Doddle to do though.

About £60 the pair for KYB and similar

I ended up fitting EIbach lowering springs to mine

I have a 2003 saloon and want to firm it up a bit, maybe even lower it slightly, what's the best route to go for suppliers?

Just fitted Boge springs to mine... £100 the pair but worth it as I know they're a good make

If you drop the diff a little you won't even need compressors for the springs but I must confess I cheated Not saying how on open forum though as not an advised method for fitting

Where did you get them, I've done the normal ggogle search etc, but they all seemed to be for pre-facelift models.

Errm...Mine's a mini-facelift But I used a proper little motor factors in the town... Very small company and slightly more expensive than some places but local and incredibly helpful

Hi, tomoco, funnily enough Ive just had to replace mine, same car as yours. Found a local chap in Leicester called Kams Autos, telephone 07920 130700. He changed my rear springs (dont know what brand) & put a new rocker cover gasket on yesterday for £250. He really knows a lot about Omegas.
