Suplex rear spring 06231 - where to buy?

Post by Rufus59 » Mon Feb 20, 2017 11:31 am

Hi all have searched forum and the general consensus seems to be suplex are the springs to go for. Managed to find the specific part number for my 3.0si sport coupe but haven't had any luck with finding somewhere I can buy some.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Cheers

Suplex were very helpful and pointed me in the direction of a distributor fairly local to me.

Confirmed right part for my 2006 3.0ltr si sport coupe was 06231

Thanks :thumbsup: will be fitting myself or may get a garage to do if It's around £50

How much are they asking?

I've got two of these springs for sale that were only on the car for a few months before I changed to new dampers and Eibach springs. Yours for £55 posted.

Just had a rear spring go so very timely info.

Replacing all four dampers shortly (Bilstein) so interested how much the eibach springs are?

No idea about eibachs unfotunately. But wanted something which was as close to OEM as I could get but without the inherent tendency to snap that the OEMs have lol eurocar parts didn't stock anything which matched the m sport spec

That's a good price, I think I paid closer to £90 which I was happy with. They're easy for a mechanic to fit, 30 mins top.

I've also got my old Coupe springs sat in my cupboard. Someone covers postage and a couple of beers there open to who ever wants them.

From £200-250. May fit them to my z4m, are the bilsteins adjustable damping force or fixed?

Thread resurrection, but better than starting another one!

I'm needing a pair of rear springs for my pre-facelift 2004, 3.0i SE.

Just checking that the Suplex 06231 are correct?

Cheers
