Ztt rear springs query

ShaunB · 27th February 2018, 16:43

I have just received my new springs from Rimmer bros,the ones on the car are marked RQ and have green and brown paint the new ones have only brown paint,Query is the new ones are coiled different at the end (the old ones are coiled more open at the bottom and sit over the centre of the rubber spring seat the new ones are tightly coiled and sit more on the raised seat centre) I happy that they are going to be secure and not move,has anyone else fitted these springs do I need a different seat to suit the new ones Rimmers are out of stock of spring seats.Or are the ones fitted to the car the wrong ones it was sitting a bit low at the back actually this and the corrosion was the reason for changing them.
