  • Broken rear spring

    Good evening all,

    I have a break in one of my rear coil springs, I am looking at replacing them and I have noticed there are two sizes with a lowered sports spring available from factory. I have looked at the spring and I cannot find a number just a CG and a barcode. How do I find out which spring I have. Thanks.

      If your trim version is SRI it's most probably a lowered one, if it's design edition (elite or similar) then it's the standard set up.
      I had my car with lowered springs when I bought it a few months ago, rear O/S spring was broken, later I got all springs and shocks replaced with standard ones for both rear and front (it's recommended to replace these in pairs).
      If not certain, try to measure the length of your spring, standard springs are ~310 mm length / 140 mm dia., and lowered ones are ~290 mm length / 138 mm dia.
      You can also try to measure the clearance between the tyre and arch, a standard spring would allow for 3 fingers at least.

        That's about as many as my wife's hole of plenty will take if she is " in the mood ' ive known her sometimes take 4 but then I cannot get my knuckles in .
        i can get 1.5 up her glory hole but that's when she's just about to organism.leave them in there any longer and it becomes a game of "buckaroo"
        and then playtime is definitely over !
