Mk1 And Mk2 Springs

[mikej]

Hi all can anyone confirm that the galaxy mk1 suspension springs are the same as those fitted to the mk2 and does it really matter if they come of a diesel or petrol , i need to replace mine on my 2001 mk2 2.3 petrol ( snapped ) but need to keep the standard height ? or does anyone know of an upgrade that doesn't reduce the height , not looking to lower it etc .thanks

mike... <_<

p.s Anyone have original standard ones and want to sell let me know

AFAIK, you have to have the correct spring to suit the engine, and I understand there are some differences between Mk 1 and Mk 2 models. Any decent factor should be able to get them, or there are a few sellers on fleabay - not sure if they're any good though.

 

By strange coincidence, I've just had the front n/s spring go bang... :lol:

It turns out that springs used on the mk2 are also used on the mk1 and vice versa , i have since found out that my own car has no less than seven different types that can be fitted ( in pairs only mind don't mix them ) apparently the type varies depending on model or more the case spec , for example Lx-ghia with different engines/trim levels use different springs for harder firmer or softer rides the difference is very minimal sometimes with less than five mm in spring length . Just though it may be useful to someone else looking for some !
