broken spring
« on: 08 May 2005, 23:48 »
driving down a normal striaght road, all of a sudden a big clang!

jacked the car up and pulled a coil of my spring out!

should I replace with lowered springs all round, or just get hold of standard front 2?

I've got a full set of used standard springs for a mark IV in my garage, which came off my car when I lowered it.  Make me an offer if you want them.  :smiley:

I think I may well have to go for the lowered option if im to replace them all!

thanks anyway!
