Rear springs Rover 75 Diesel Tourer
Sorry if this has been covered before - I have searched but couldn't find anything for the diesel tourer.
Is there a list of spring lengths as I see there are several colours available for the 75 tourer. I'd like to fit a slightly taller set as I now use the 75 for towing. Don't think it will make it though it's next MOT next year. Will be SO sad to see it go. We have had it for 10 years now and 250,000 miles on the clock. it has NEVER broken down and the only major work was a clutch at 185,000. Best car we have ever had... |

Yes - that option too - but I'm not sure what the original length is / was. I'm on my 2nd set of springs and that last ones always looked a little "low" - hence wanting to find out about spring lengths.

i fitted these BMW springs to my diesel tourer, it now rides quite a bit higher.
The arch gap is about the same front and rear, i always thought the rear looks to be riding lower than it should https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BMW-3-SER...item1c84b1ee8b I also have a set of original towing assist springs fitted so cant really comment on much better they are when the car is fully loaded. |
