E85 rear springs
I have a broken rear spring so looking to replace both. Just a quick question I checked using my vin what the car came with and it states M suspension. Does that mean the springs were different? And if so what part number would I need
Many thanks Ray

Yes, the M Sport springs are different. Most people replace them with Suplex I believe, as the quality is the same as OEM and cheaper.
Their part number for M Sport rears is 06241, and they're around £45 delivered each from eBay

Even if your car is an SE, if it's a 3.0 it came with Sport Springs as standard unless the first buyer deleted the option.
I fitted Suplex as well when my rear went, best to replace both at same time, whole process take about 30 mins for the two.

Good morning, I too have a query regarding springs, I note the replies so far and I've just bought a 2007 3.0si Sport Auto. To replace the springs I would need the M Sport compatible?
Regards
Chris
