Front Shocks & Rear springs help 1.8T

Skatiechik · 15th May 2013, 15:03

Car is a 05 ZT-T 1.8T

Front shocks/springs are TJ/SH. No aftermarket parts and Rimmers tell me both shocks/springs are NLA
Rear springs are RQ. Again cant find aftermarket and Rimmers say NLA

Any one anyone any ideas where to source?

Are you sure the fronts are TJ/SH?
Rear springs are part number RKB000590SLP and Rimmers are showing item in stock.

It says "Out of stock. Add to cart and Back Order". The information I have been given is there is currently no date for when these would be back in stock if ever.

Information under the rear seat says it is TJ/SH, as for what is actually on the car.

Anyone know why is there so many options for rear springs on the tourer anyhow and what the difference is?

Anyone? It seems silly that a consumable part can't be sourced?

Best of British in Darlaston not got any?

Not tried them yet, but as Xparts doesn't have any, I'm not sure whether they'll be able to get some.

What alternatives can I use if I can't find any?

Skatiechik · 22nd May 2013, 15:53

Best of British haven't got them in their online shop. I have tried emailing but they haven't got back to me.

As per above any alternatives?

There need to be some alternatives otherwise this'll turn into a breaking ZTT thread!
