I agree with Dave so much so that the last time he did a link about the above springs i purchased a pair, this was so i just had a spare set in the shed so yes no problem for a saloon, tourer springs are very different.

Thanks for all your replies. At half the price I'm inclined to agree with you Dave and Arctic so I shall adopt that approach.
I found the label btw. It was on the blanking plate over the petrol tank aperture which I'd removed and stored safely! Unfortunately, after years submerged it was all but blank, but with a magnifying glass I could just make out RC. Thanks all for your help and comments. |

When I got the 2.5, it had a rear right hand spring broken in three parts. I bought Sachs rear springs from Eurocarparts . After the broken spring was replaced, I checked the height from floor to top of wheel arch.......... and it was the same height as the non broken spring side.

Done same
Thanks for content in this thread chaps - have also now ordered from Rimmers so have spares for my Saloons. I must say , this whole area I find rather confusing since SO many variants. Have yet to really determine what specific items I need for my Tourer front and rear. Don't be surprised if I follow this up with you all later!

Further to my suspension refurb', l'm waiting to hear back from Best of British about my original damper/spring spec's. I did contact X-Part who took my VIN number & specified Pink as the rear spring spec' that would have been fitted at the factory which would seem to be backed up on the oft' posted list in other spring threads here (listed as 75 Saloon 2002, no variant listed for pink so assuming it's the 1.8). I'm minded to buy OEM springs as l have for the front & Rimmers do have them in stock but reading this thread l'm thinking of going for the diesel/white which they also have. If there is minimal difference between saloon springs & the diesel items are slightly stronger/taller/cheaper than the pink that's no bad thing as a car & topbox full of antiques is not an uncommon situation. A quick measurement of road to rear wheel arches just revealed 65cm N/S, 67cm O/S though the difference might be the road camber outside our house.
My offside rear currently has a red/white (V6?) spring fitted, possibly a replacement as it's still pretty clean compared to the nearside one, l still have to search for colours on that. In my present mind though, l think white springs from Rimmers are the way to go.
