Have the MOT all well (except for adivsoty for steering rack) but N/s rear spring in broken almost at the bottom, it can only be seen when wheel off and suspension at full droop (no comments or sniggers please) its OK to drive as its inside the lower mounting but obviously needs replacing.

The shockers are fine and the car is a delight to drive so I dont want to get new springs and shocks so obvious answer is a pair of used replacement springs - can anyone help please

Had the same problem so ended up buying two new ones, so still have one good one. car has only done 29,000 so spring should still be ok. Has come of an S3. Pretty rusty so needs a good derusting and paint. It's yours if you want it, could probably post it Tuesday.

ps Came off standard Koni shocks.

It never ceases to amaze me how helpful and unselfish the people who keep this forum alive are.
It gives one a warm feeling (oo err) when donations of help, advise and even parts are posted to help someone else out.

Keep it up peeps

p.s Norman did I spy a post on the Griff site from you recently?
Your secret is safe with me smile

Hope you can put it to good use, and the postie didn't try to push it through the letterbox. If you do wish to make a donation I can't think of a better charity than you own Leukaemia CARE.

Regards

Tony

GAZ do them for about £20-00 each. They cost about £10-00 to make, depending upon the quantity.

Starting to get complicated Adrian@ tells me S3 springs rated differently to S2 and advises an S2 spring required so I'm still looking.

Does anyone have experience of fitting S3 rear springs to an S2?

I have a spare S2 rear spring, as I will be changing my suspension during my rebuild.
However it will cost you another donation to charity. Email me your address and I will get it posted.

Tony (another one)
