my connie cdti tourer seems to be higher on the front than the rear would a pair of zt-t cdtifront springs be any lower and same spring rate as my standard connie cdti ones or are they all the same on the oil burners?

Dunno about whether all 75 Tourers use the same or not...my Conn SE CDT was also lower at the back (spring code on mine is RG). I am using a pair of spring assisters on the rear springs - towing accessory - that has stiffened the suspension and raised it to an acceptable level as a temporary measure. The cure is obviously to replace the springs with the correct ones...

The code can be found under the rear seat cushion, or on the spring itself.

Hope this helps

The tourers do ride a little lower than the saloons, apparently for ease of loading ;)

Sorry for the late reply...didn't see your post!

I got mine from Halfords...think they should be available from any motor factor.
