Hi,Getting the springs replaced at the garage at the mo because they're insanely rusty, and the garage can't figure out what springs are currently on there. Bit of a noob when it comes to springs. So what's the best approach here? Can I get any old spring? What do I need to know in order to get the same springs? Cheers Al |

The car is lowered slightly, so standard springs won't be the ones. Not sure about the distance between the wheel and car, but I can get that. |

Sorry, meant lopsided back to front. I don't want to end up with a car that has its front too high or too slammed! I'll definitely replace the front pair, I think they're are both in similar s**te condition. |
