My BB8 has 3 Tein lowering springs and 1 standard one (previous owner) and is driving very unpredictably at higher speeds, i dont fancy spending £160 when i only need 1 spring,
Anyone got a front pair? Tein or apex?

I'm not surprised! What a

the previous owner must have been...

Did they keep the original one? Could possibly get it repaired?

Front or rear?
If you're looking to buy a second hand one, you should buy a pair really tbh, otherwise you'll have a similar problem.

Nah i bought it from a sales place it had been traded in earlier that week.
Its front driver side, but i would take a pair if a pair were offered

You have to buy them in pairs, it's not recommended having 2 springs from 2 different cars fitted. You want to try and find a Prelude that has a matching pair fitted.

I have two rear standard springs from my 5G if you want them for free mate to keep you going, you cover the cost of postage

Thanks for the offer mate but its the front i need to sort out.
I might just go with a standard front spring to balance it off in the meantime though.
