just annoying as i was planning to get coilovers in next few weeks. Not only has this dug into the coilovers fund it has also meant im paying out for a part that will consequently be replaced in the coming well months i guess now.

Have you asked on the forum for a front OEM spring? Someone is bound to have one lying about? Was it cracked right near one of the ends so it wasnt noticable?

i dont know garage sorted it, guess ill see when i pick it up later. In an ideal world i would of sourced parts of forum but i needed/wanted it all done and MOTd pre Japfest. Think i will need all my tracking sorted though as they said its out and tyre wear is uneven. Annoying as i guess ill have to source a locking pin from somewhere.

I bought my duraflex one from a UK company but they are no longer available. If money wasnt an issue I would by the Extreme Dimensions Mugen replica from the US but the carriage is more expensive the bumper. If I were to buy another one I would buy one of the replicas from Poland on Ebay.

Fitment will be a pig no matter what replica you buy, they are notoriously hard to fit and get right. My body shop guy wasnt please with me :lol: LudeDude will back me up on this ;)
