Front Coil Spring Snapped!

[melman]

Would you believe it.... Just getting ready to sell my 97 A3 1.8T and I started hearing a strange noise from the front of the car. Just investigated and have found one of my coil springs has snapped!

Anyone know where I might be able to get a used spring from as I dont really want the hassle and cost of replacing for a new set.

To be honest you dont have much choice but to get new springs, unless you can find a car with the same miles as yours in a scrappy and take them off that.

Any other way its goign to sit lop sided, iirc 2 springs cost me about £120 for the parts.

Talking Guff yet again, 2 springs will cost you £70+Vat from GSF

I have two used front lowerering springs once fitted to my '98 1.8T Sport if interested?

I have the full set of 4 if needed.

I can't think of the brand of them off the top of my head, sorry.
