KYB AGX - Spring Identification
Discussion
my mate bought a limited edition mk1 used as a track car last year. i remember quickly looking under it in the pub car park, (this was intentional, not due to beer drinking 
) and i remember it was running kyb agx dampers.
he drove it into a rock sometime last year thinking it was a lump of mud on the road
he calls me up to say it failed the mot on a cracked spring and no one can tell what brand they are. i seem to remember that the springs were orange ish but nowt else.
anyone know what the likely combinations may be?

Sorry
you're a chap, yes i'm quite aware it's a daft question, but since the mechanic can't tell, can't hurt Sorry
should've mentioned, the dampers were set to max stiffness, probably still are. the car is apparently 'back breakingly' stiff, so probably handles like absolute s
te, plus the wheels are prob buckled and the weights gone long ago, as well as alignment. the mate has no idea really about driving, hence trying to save him money changing 1 spring.maybe it'll just be easier to re spec mx5parts slightly stiffer front ones and hope he doesn't end up with stiffer rear to front rates!
Just tell him to fit Eibach springs and set the shocks to 5 - 6 on the road or 3 - 4 for the track and it'll handle way better as well as being a hell of a lot more comfortable. I don't think replacing a single spring is wise and as you don't know what rate the springs are even fitting a pair could be more trouble than it's worth.
