Hi I found a broken spring when getting tyres.
If I remember right there was a little bit of a grey area on this so just wanted to check.
The 3lt cars came with the Mpsort suspension which was a bit lower than the SE and as I remember euro car parts get this wrong so often supply springs that are too long.
where is best to get a spring from?

Mine are suplex. I know quite a few other people are running these too.
Or could just go whole hog and get Eibach and fit some spacers to bump it up to "M" height as I think 30mm drop is a bit excessive... but all down to mileage, road types, etc.

Yep, even on SE Sport springs were the standard on 3.0 but could be deleted at point of order.
You should really change both together. Like many forum members I went for Suplex 6231, exactly same height but just better made.
