Yup, used Irmscher spring set for a V6 estate.

But bet it might handle funny at the front on corners....

Right front spring missing its pigtail, despite coils counting in the same.

Amazing what a blob of red nail varnish can cover.....

Didn't look right initially, but the ends do appear to be there. Rf one is turned 180degrees. Looking directly under the top end of the LF spring, gives the position of the bottom end.
So, apply that to the right front(in pic) spring, you can just see the end of the bottom coil. At about 8oclock position...? No? Orientation of the ends does seem correct.

Base of the coil is almost exact same colour as the floor, which doesn't help.

Put another way. The top end over laps the bottom end by about two inches, on both afaict.

Got woken by a couple of drunken yahoos giving it large outside.   ::)

They didnt appreciate a large lump of disgruntled black Labrador barking round about them - accompanied by my dulcet tones asking them to disperse to their beddy bies.....

Now wrapping myself around a hot toddy....  :y

To my eye, bottom of front left one needs a rotate anti by a quarter tun to match same position in front right one.

If you take that move to the top of the springs, the front right one falls short as evidenced by lack of end taper....

.... or count upwards from each where the pigtail meets bottom spring and compare numbers....
