Well rear spring is broken ... what to do?

[ONEMINUTESILENCE]

Just had the veccy in at the dealers today due to suspected ARB issues. It turned out it needs new ARB & drop links done on front for approx £110, which doesn't seem to bad.

Anyway also they said my rear spring is broken! So what should I do, they quoted me £250 to replace or £200 non gm parts, surely I could get a decent set of lowering springs inc fitting for £200??

My local hi-q quoted me £191 for front spring, front pipe exhaust supplied and fitted. So for rear spring fitted would be less. They quoted me £50-70 to fit full set of lowering springs.
But I have a bro in law with own garage so it cost me a cuppa tea lol

I have a set of standard springs here if you need any,easy to fit yourself

[russ1969]

i have i rear pair you could have as i had a front one go last month

As said be before easy enough to do yourself as i did them myself a lot easier to do than the fronts

I personally would buy a set of lowered springs and replace the lot all at once

Got a set of jamex myself and cost £110 all in delivered to my door might not be the best but do the job

I paod £45 from a local motorfactors for a ne wone for mine. and it took bout 30mins to fit myself (and i was in no rush either!)

Thanks for the advice so far guys

Well from the sound of it I might as well get a set of 30 or 35mm lowering springs. This is supposed to drop a sri another 15mm from what is normally is

aye if you get 30mm eibachs it drops an SRI 15mm.

even LMF are cheaper for a full set of eibachs.

No Brainer.

Lowering springs - Better metal, will last longer, stronger and cheaper.

^^ I agree completely. I paid something like £152, delivered, when I bought my Eibach kit from LMF Vauxhall - an approved trader on here. They made a significant improvement to the handling of the car too.
