front coil springs
11. Feb 2011 at 15:05
 
just taken the mig in for its MOT and needs track rod and a new front coil spring. Price for the coil spring Ive been quoted at being around £70 which seems dear to me. Looked on ebay and there are some at £43 and then Kilen at £54. Anyone any recommendations as a he is happy to fit If I can get cheaper ones. thanks Thumbs Up!

cheers guys .I had KYB ones when a rear one went last time round and, yes, makes sense to change them in pairs-though the wallet wont like it Grin Sad

gotta say it's never crossed my mind only to change one it's sorta like brake pads in my opinion

the funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it

Got a pair of Kilens on both fronts - no issues to report with 'em. Thumbs Up!
They're one of the few aftermarket suppliers who do 'model-specific' coils for the Omega. Wink
