Broken front spring

[bimsb6]

As above i appear to have a broken spring on the front shocks , car is a 6.0 vxr , are all the front springs the same or are the vxr ones different?

I am not sure on this but do have a set of standard shocks and springs as replaced with coilovers.

6.0 vxr ones or 5.7 ?

VXR springs will be different to a CV8. I would replace them with pedders springs from Monkfish.
Be warned, when you replace the springs you would be wise to replace the bearings and top mounts with uprated items at the same time. Or... just bite the bullet and buy a complete suspension kit. It will transform your car.
I have just had Monkfish put a pedders low suspension kit on my Monaro and it drives better than when it was new.

They are off a 6.0 VXR

I broke a standard spring on my R8, Monkfish had some in stock from a previous upgrade. It is seemingly quite common on the R8 so and the next Monkfish visit I got my standard set up changed to Pedders and the difference is noticeable - far more "planted" & not eye wateringly expensive
