Rear Springs

madmatt · 30th April 2018, 10:06

Hi all so it would seem have a broken rear spring after checking the tag underneath the rear seat it would seem I need I need a pair of RM coded Springs purple I believe) after checking on rimmer Brothers website it would seem there no longer available and there's no alternative part number suggested so just wondering if anyone has a good quality pair second-hand Springs with the RM code or can suggest an alternative part number for me many thanks

Beat me too it Steve, I have fitted mine and the ride height is fine, back end feels spot on.
Glad to be of help on the discount

Very timely thread and link. Coming back from shopping this afternoon, big bang from rear of car - rear spring broken

Code RM.

Just ordered two new ones (code RL) from Rimmers. £59.94 including vat and postage

Sadly I don't have the equipment or facilities to change them myself. . .
