Default Where to get suspension parts?

In need of a pair of rear suspension arms, rear springs and rear shocks, about £500 from rimmers, not excessively expensive but anywhere cheapers, ECP and GSF don't even sell most of it and it's massively expensive

Roverlink are still showing stock of rear upper arms on eBay and you may get them cheaper by pm to him from the forum. On eBay yesterday I noticed offside ones significantly more expensive than near side, and that he appears to have sold more of them. Odd how our cars seem to have a tendency to rust worse on the offside.

Bonnet goes by the offside headlight
Sills go on the offside rear
Now maybe also offside arms.

Let us know how you get on.

I think they're upper arms, run horizontal between the rear wheels? The springs are 105 from rimmers now, will look on best of british and rover links page now, thanks

Let me do a little digging tomorrow for you Jordan

The rear arms are not something we stock from FAI i dont think, but we have a plethora of other suppliers available to us for special order.

If you happen to get your spring codes between now and then, drop me a PM

Will PM you in the morning if you like.
